PART  I. 

[The  minister  commences  the  service  by  reading  one  of  the  following',  or  some  other 
portion  of  the  Word :  and  where  it  can  be  done,  the  portion  may  be  sung :  all 
standing.] 

-   Come  ye,  and  let  us  go  up  to  the  mountain  of  Je- 
hovah, 
To  the  house  of  the  God  of  Jacob ; 
And  he  will  teach  us  of  his  ways, 
And  we  will  walk  in  his  paths : 
For  out  of  Zion  shall  go  forth  the  law. 
And  the  word  of  Jehovah  from  Jerusalem. 
And  he  shall  jvidge  among  the  nations, 
And  shall  rebuke  many  people  : 
And  they  shall  beat  their  swords  into  ploughshares, 
And  their  spears  into  pruning-hooks  : 
Nation  shall  not  lift  up  sword  against  nation, 
Neither  shall  they  learn  war  any  more. 
O  house  of  Jacob  !  come  ye. 
And  let  us  walk  in  the  light  of  Jehovah.  [Sel.  72.] 

Bless  Jehovah,  O  my  soul ! 
And  all  that  is  within  me,  bless  his  holy  name. 
Bless  Jehovah,  O  my  soul ! 
And  forget  not  all  his  benefits : 
Who  forgiveth  all  thine  iniquities  j 


4  ORDER  OP  WORSHIP. 

Who  healeth  all  thy  diseases  ; 

Who  redeemeth  thy  Hfe  from  destruction ; 

Who  crowneth  thee  with  kindness  and  mercies ; 

Who  satisfieth  thy  mouth  with  good ; 

Thy  youth  is  renewed  hke  the  eagle's. 

Jehovah  executeth  righteousness 

And  judgment  for  all  that  are  oppressed.    :•  '\ 

He  made  known  his  ways  to  Moses, 

His  acts  to  the  children  of  Israel.  [Sel.  126.] 

I  WAS  glad  when  they  said  unto  me, 
Let  us  go  to  the  house  of  Jehovah  ; 
Our  feet  shall  stand  within  thy  gates,  O  Jerusalem : 
Jerusalem  is  built  as  a  city  compact  together. 
Whither  the  tribes  go  up,  the  tribes  of  Jah  : 
A  testimony  to  Israel,  to  give  thanks  to  the  name  of 

Jehovah. 
For  there  are  set  thrones  of  judgment : 
The  thrones  of  the  house  of  David. 
Pray  for  the  peace  of  Jerusalem : 
They  shall  prosper  that  love  thee. 
Peace  be  within  thy  walls  ; 
Prosperity  within  thy  palaces. 
For  my  brethren  and  companions'  sakes, 
I  will  now  say,  Peace  be  within  thee. 
For  the  sake  of  the  house  of  Jehovah  our  God, 
I  will  seek  good  to  thee.  [Sel.  44.] 

How  beautiful  upon  the  mountains 
Are  the  feet  of  him  that  bringeth  good  tidings. 
That  proclaimeth  peace ; 
That  bringeth  good  tidings  of  good. 
That  publisheth  salvation ; 
That  saith  to  Zion,  Thy  God  reigneth  ! 
Thy  watchmen  shall  lift  up  the  voice : 
With  the  voice  together  shall  they  sing. 
For  they  shall  see  eye  to  eye, 
When  Jehovah  shall  bring  again  Zion. 
Break  forth  into  joy : 
Sing  together,  ye  waste  places  of  Jerusalem. 


ORDER  OF  WORSHIP.  5 

For  Jehovah  hath  comforted  his  people ; 

He  hath  redeemed  Jerusalem. 

Jehovah  -hath  made  bare  his  holy  arm, 

In  the  eyes  of  all  the  nations. 

And  all  the  ends  of  the  earth 

Shall  see  the  salvation  of  our  God.  [Sel.  66.] 


PART  II. 

jThen  shall  be  read  one  or  more  of  the  following  passages  from  the  Word,  aa  intro 
ductory  to  prayer.] 

Take  no  thought,  saying,  What  shall  we  eat?  or, 
What  shall  we  drink  7  or,  Wherewithal  shall  we  be 
clothed?  For  after  all  these  things  do  the  Gentiles 
seek  :  for  your  heavenly  Father  knoweth  that  ye  have 
need  of  all  these  things.  But  seek  ye  first  the  kingdom 
of  God,  and  his  righteousness;  and  all  these  things 
shall  be  added  unto  you. 

Ask,  and  it  shall  be  given  you ;  seek,  and  ye  shall 
find ;  knock,  and  it  shall  be  opened  unto  you :  for 
every  one  that  asketh  receiveth;  and  he  that  seeketh 
findeth ;  and  to  him  that  knocketh  it  shall  be  opened. 
Or  what  man  is  there  of  you,  of  whom  if  his  son  ask 
bread,  will  he  give  him  a  stone  ?  or  if  he  ask  a  fish, 
will  he  give  him  a  serpent?  If  ye  then,  being  evil, 
know  how  to  give  good  gifts  unto  your  children,  how 
much  more  shall  your  Father  who  is  in  heaven  give 
good  things  to  them  that  ask  him  !  Therefore  all 
things  whatsoever  ye  would  that  men  should  do  to  you, 
do  ye  even  so  to  them :  for  this  is  the  Law  and  the 
Prophets. 

At  that  time,  Jesus  answered  and  said,  I  thank 
thee,  O  Father,  Lord  of  heaven  and  earth,  because 
thou  hast  hid  these  things  from  the  wise  and  prudent, 
and  hast  revealed  them  unto  babes.  Even  so,  Father  : 
for  so  it  seemed  good  in  thy  sight!  All  things  are 
delivered  unto  me  of  my  Father :  and  no  one  knoweth 
1*

the  Son,  hut  the  Father;  neither  knoweth  any  one 
the  Father,  save  the  Son,  and  he  to  whomsoever  the 
Son  will  reveal  him. 

Come  unto  me,  all  ye  that  lahor  and  are  heavy 
laden,  and  I  will  give  you  rest.  Take  my  yoke  upon 
you,  and  learn  of  me ;  for  I  am  meek  and  lowly  in 
heart :  and  ye  shall  find  rest  unto  your  souls.  For 
my  yoke  is  easy,  and  my  burden  is  light. 

Then  said  Jesus  unto  his  disciples.  If  any  one  will 
come  after  me,  let  him  deny  himself,  and  take  up  his 
cross,  and  follow  me.  For  whosoever  will  save  his 
life  shall  lose  it :  and  whosoever  will  lose  his  life  for 
my  sake  shall  find  it.  For  what  is  a  man  profited, 
if  he  shall  gain  the  whole  world,  ajid  lose  his  own 
soul  7  or  what  shall  a  man  give  in  exchange  for  his 
soul  1  For  the  Son  of  man  shall  come  in  the  glory 
of  his  Father  with  his  angels;  and  then  he  shall 
reward  every  man  according  to  his  works. 

Again  I  say  unto  you,  That  if  two  of  you  shall 
agree  on  earth,  as  touching  any  thing  that  they  shall 
ask,  it  shall  be  done  for  them  of  my  Father  who  is 
in  heaven :  for  where  two  or  three  are  gathered  to- 
gether in  my  name,  there  am  I  in  the  midst  of  them. 
Then  came  Peter  to  him,  and  said,  Lord,  how  oft 
shall  my  brother  sin  against  me,  and  I  forgive  him  ? 
till  seven  times  7  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  I  say  not  unto 
thee,  Until  seven  times :  but,  Until  seventy  times  seven. 

And  Jesus  answering  saith  unto  them,  Have  faith 
of  God.  For  verily  I  say  unto  you,  that  whosoever 
shall  say  unto  this  mountain,  Be  thou  removed,  and 
be  thou  cast  into  the  sea ;  and  shall  not  doubt  in  his 
heart,  but  shall  believe  that  those  things  which  he 
saith  shall  come  to  pass;  he  shall  have  whatsoever 
he  saith.  Therefore  I  say  unto  you.  What  things 
soever  ye  desire,  when  ye  pray,  believe  that  ye  receive 
them,  and  ye  shall  have  them.     And  when  ye  stand 


ORDER  OF  WORSHIP.  7 

praying,  forgive,  if  ye  have  aught  against  any :  that 
your  Father  also  who  is  in  heaven  may  forgive  you 
your  trespasses.  But  if  ye  do  not  forgive,  neither  will 
your  Father  who  is  in  heaven  forgive  your  trespasses. 

But  I  say  unto  you  who  hear.  Love  your  enemies, 
do  good  to  them  who  hate  you,  bless  them  that  curse 
you,  and  pray  for  them  who  despitefully  use  you.  And 
unto  him  that  smiteth  thee  on  the  cheek,  oifer  also  the 
other ;  and  him  that  taketh  away  thy  cloak,  forbid  not 
to  take  thy  coat  also.  Give  to  every  one  that  asketh 
of  thee ;  and  of  him  that  taketh  away  thy  goods  ask 
them  not  again.  And  as  ye  would  that  men  should 
do  to  you,  do  ye  also  to  them  likewise. 

But  love  ye  your  enemies,  and  do  good,  and  lend, 
hoping  for  nothing  again ;  and  your  reward  shall  be 
great,  and  ye  shall  be  the  children  of  the  Highest : 
for  he  is  kind  unto  the  unthankful  and  the  evil.  Be 
ye  therefore  merciful,  as  your  Father  also  is  merciful. 

And  I  say  unto  you,  Ask,  and  it  shall  be  given  you ; 
seek,  and  ye  shall  find ;  knock,  and  it  shall  be  opened 
unto  you.  For  every  one  that  asketh  receiveth ;  and 
he  that  seeketh  findeth ;  and  t6  him  that  knocketh  it 
shall  be  opened.  If  a  son  shall  a^k  bread  of  any  of 
you  that  is  a  father,  will  he  give  him  a  stone?  or 
if  a  fish,  will  he  for  a  fish  give  him  a  serpent?  or  if 
he  shall  ask  an  egg,  will  he  oflfer  him  a  scorpion  ?  If 
ye  then,  being  evil,  know  how  to  give  good  gifts  unto 
your  children ;  how  much  more  shall  the  heavenly 
Father  give  the  Holy  Spirit  to  them  that  ask  him ! 

Take  heed  to  yourselves !  If  thy  brother  trespass 
against  thee,  rebuke  him ;  and  if  he  repent,  forgive 
him.  And  if  he  trespass  against  thee  seven  times  in 
a  day,  and  seven  times  in  a  day  turn  again  to  thee, 
saying,  I  repent ;  thou  shalt  forgive  him. 

Two  men  went  up  into  the  temple  to  pray ;  the  one 


g  6JRE>feR  Of  worship. 

a  Pharisee,  and  the  other  a  Publican.  The  Pharisee 
stood  and  prayed  thus  with  himself:  God,  I  thank 
thee,  that  1  am  not  as  other  men,  extortioners,  unjust, 
aduherers,  or  even  as  this  Pubhean.  I  fast  twice  in 
the  week,  I  give  tithes  of  all  that  I  possess.  And  the 
Publican,  standing  afar  off,  would  not  lift  so  much  as 
the  eyes  unto  heaven ;  but  smote  upon  his  breast, 
saying,  God  be  merciful  to  me  a  sinner  !  I  tell  you, 
this  man  went  down  to  his  house  justified  rather  than 
the  other :  for  every  one  that  exalteth  himself  shall 
be  abased;  and  he  that  humbleth  himself  shall  be 
exalted. 

In  the  beginning  was  the  Word,  and  the  Word  was 
with  God,  and  the  Word  was  God.  The  same  was  in 
the  beginning  with  God.  All  things  were  made  by 
him;  and  without  him  was  not  any  thing  made  that 
was  made.  In  him  was  life;  and  the  life  was  the  light 
of  men.  And  the  Word  was  made  flesh,  and  dwelt 
among  us ;  and  we  beheld  his  glory,  the  glory  as  of  the 
only  begotten  of  the  Father,  full  of  grace  and  truth. 

For  God  so  loved  the  world,  that  he  gave  his  only 
"begotten  Son,  that  whosoever  believeth  in  him  should 
not  perish,  but  have  everlasting  life.  For  God  sent 
not  his  Son  into  the  world  to  condemn  the  world; 
but  that  the  world  through  him  might  be  saved. 

But  the  hour  cometh,  and  now  is,  when  the  true 
worshippers  shall  worship  the  Father  in  spirit  and  in 
truth :  for  the  Father  seeketh  such  to  worship  him. 
God  is  a  Spirit;  and  they  that  worship  him  must 
worship  in  spirit  and  in  truth. 

And  Jesus  said  unto  them,  I  am  the  bread  of  life : 
he  that  cometh  to  me  shall  never  hunger ;  and  he  that 
believeth  on  me  shall  never  thirst.  All  that  the  Father 
giveth  me  shall  come  to  me ;  and  him  that  cometh  to 
me  I  will  in  no  wise  cast  out. 


ORDER  OF  WORSHIP.  9 

My  sheep  hear  my  voice,  and  I  know  them,  and 
they  follow  me :  and  I  give  unto  them  eternal  life ; 
and  they  shall  never  perish,  neither  shall  any  one 
pluck  them  out  of  my  hand.  My  Father,  who  gave 
them  me,  is  greater  than  all ;  and  no  one  is  able  to 
pluck  them  out  of  my  Father's  hand.  I  and  the 
Father  are  one. 

Jesus  saith  unto  him,  I  am  the  Way,  the  Truth, 
and  the  Life :  no  one  cometh  unto  the  Father,  but 
by  me.  If  ye  had  known  me,  ye  should  have  known 
my  Father  also ;  and  from  henceforth  ye  know  him, 
and  have  seen  him. 

Believe  me  that  I  am  in  the  Father,  and  the  Father 
in  me :  or  else  believe  me  for  the  very  works'  sake. 
Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  He  that  believeth  on 
me,  the  works  that  I  do  shall  he  do  also :  and 
greater  ones  than  these  shall  he  do;  because  I  go 
unto  my  Father.  And  whatsoever  ye  shall  ask  in 
my  name,  that  will  I  do ;  that  the  Father  may  be  glo- 
rified in  the  Son.  If  ye  shall  ask  any  thing  in  my 
name,  I  will  do  it. 

I  AM  the  true  Vine,  and  my  Father  is  the  Husband- 
man. Every  branch  in  me  that  beareth  not  fruit  he 
taketh  away :  and  every  one  that  beareth  fruit  he 
purgeth  it,  that  it  may  bring  forth  more  fruit.  Now  ye 
are  clean  through  the  word  which  I  have  spoken  unto 
you.  Abide  in  me,  and  I  in  you.  As  the  branch 
cannot  bear  fruit  of  itself,  except  it  abide  in  the  vine ; 
no  more  can  ye,  except  ye  abide  in  me. 

I  AM  the  Vine,  ye  are  the  branches :  he  that  abide th 
in  me,  and  I  in  him,  the  same  bringeth  forth  much 
fruit :  for  without  me  ye  can  do  nothing.  If  any  one 
abide  not  in  me,  he  is  cast  forth  as  a  branch,  and  is 
withered ;  and  they  gather  them,  and  cast  them  into 
the  fire,  and  they  are  burned.     If  ye  abide  in  me,  and 


10  ORDER  OP  WORSHIP. 

my  words  abide  in  yon,  ye  shall  ask  what  ye  will, 
and  it  shall  be  done  unto  you. 

Herein  is  my  Father  glorified,  that  ye  bear  much 
fruit;  so  shall  ye  be  my  disciples.  As  the  Father  hath 
loved  me,  so  have  I  loved  you :  continue  ye  in  my  love. 
If  ye  keep  my  commandments,  ye  shall  abide  in  my 
love;  even  as  I  have  kept  my  Father's  command- 
ments, and  abide  in  his  love. 

Ye  have  not  chosen  me,  but  I  have  chosen  you, 
and  ordained  you,  that  ye  should  go  and  bring  forth 
fruit,  and  that  your  fruit  should  remain :  that  whatso- 
ever ye  shall  ask  of  the  Father  in  my  name,  he  may 
give  it  you.  These  things  I  command  you,  that  ye 
love  one  another. 

Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  Whatsoever  ye  shall 
ask  the  Father  in  my  name,  he  will  give  it  you. 
Hitherto  have  ye  asked  nothing  in  my  name  :  ask,  and 
ye  shall  receive,  that  your  joy  may  be  full.  These 
things  have  I  spoken  unto  you  in  proverbs ;  but  the 
time  Cometh  when  I  shall  no  more  speak  unto  you  in 
proverbs,  but  I  shall  show  you  plainly  of  the  Father. 
At  that  day  ye  shall  ask  in  my  name :  and  I  say  not 
unto  you,  that  I  will  pray  the  Father  for  you :  for  the 
Father  himself  loveth  you,  because  ye  have  loved  me, 
and  have  believed  that  I  came  out  from  God.  I  came 
forth  from  the  Father,  and  am  come  into  the  world : 
again,  I  leave  the  world,  and  go  to  the  Father. 

For  unto  us  a  Child  is  bom, 
Unto  us  a  Son  is  given  : 

And  the  government  shall  be  upon  his  shoulder : 
And  his  name  shall  be  called 
Wonderful,  Counsellor,  God,  the  Mighty, 
The  Everlasting  Father,  The  Prince  of  Peace. 
Of  the  increase  of  his  government  and  peace  there  shall 

be  no  end, 
Upon  the  throne  of  David  and  upon  his  kingdom  j

To  order  it,  and  to  establish  it,  . 

With  judgment  and  with  justice, 

From  henceforth  even  for  ever : 

The  zeal  of  Jehovah  of  hosts  will  perform  this. 

And  it  shall  be  said  in  that  day, 
Lo,  this  is  our  God  ! 

We  have  waited  for  him,  and  he  will  save  us : 
This  is  Jehovah  ! 
We  have  waited  for  him, 
We  will  be  glad  and  rejoice  in  his  salvation. 

Seek  ye  Jehovah,  while  he  may  be  found, 
Call  ye  upon  him  while  he  is  near : 
Let  the  wicked  forsake  his  way, 
And  the  unrighteous  man  his  thoughts : 
And   let  him   return  to   Jehovah,   and  he   will  have 

mercy  upon  him ; 
And  to  our  God,  for  he  will  abundantly  pardon. 

Wherewith  shall  I  come  before  Jehovah, 
And  bow  myself  before  the  high  God? 
Shall  I  come  before  him  with  burnt  offerings. 
With  calves  of  a  year  old  ? 

Will  Jehovah  be  pleased  with  thousands  of  rams, 
Or  with  ten  thousands  of  rivers  of  oil  ? 
Shall  I  give  my  firstborn  for  my  transgressions. 
The  fruit  of  my  body  for  the  sins  of  my  soul ! 
He  hath  showed  thee,  O  man  !  what  is  good ; 
And  what  doth  Jehovah  require  of  thee, 
But  to  do  justly,  and  to  love  mercy, 
And  to  walk  humbly  with  thy  God  1 

O  come  !  let  us  worship  and  bow  down : 
Let  us  kneel  before  the  face  of  Jehovah,  our  Maker. 

And  when  thou  prayest,  thou  shalt  not  be  as  the 
hypocrites :  for  they  love  to  pray  standing  in  the 
synagogues  and  in  the  corners  of  the  streets,  that 
they  may  be  seen  of  men.     Verily  I  say  unto  you,

They  have  their  reward.  But  thou,  when  thou 
prayest,  enter  into  thy  closet,  and  when  thou  hast 
shut  thy  door,  pray  to  thy  Father  who  is  in  secret; 
and  thy  Father  who  seeth  in  secret  shall  reward  thee 
openly.  But  when  ye  pray,  use  not  vain  repetitions, 
as  the  heathen  do :  for  they  think  that  they  shall  be 
heard  for  their  much  speaking.  Be  not  ye  therefore

ye  have  need  of,  before  ye  ask  him.  After  this  man-

THE  TEN  COMMANDMENTS. 

EXODUS  XX. 

Now  therefore  hearken,  O  Israel,  to  the  statutes 
and  to  the  judgments,  which  I  teach  you,  to  do,  that 
ye  may  hve,  and  go  in  and  possess  the  land  which 
Jehovah  the  God  of  your  fathers  giveth  you.  Ye  shall 
not  add  to  the  word  which  1  command  you,  neither 
shall  ye  diminish  from  it,  that  ye  may  keep  the  com- 
mandments of  Jehovah  your  God  which  I  command 
you. 

And  God  spake  all  these  words,  saying, 

I. 

I  AM  Jehovah  thy  God,  who  have  brought  thee  out

Thou  shall  have  no  other  gods  before  me.  Thou  shalt

of  any  thing  that  is  in  heaven  above,  or  that  is  in  the 
earth  beneath,  or  that  is  in  the  water  under  the  earth  : 
thou  shalt  not  bow  down  thyself  to  them,  nor  serve 
them :  for  I  Jehovah  thy  God  am  a  jealous  God,  visit- 
ing the  iniquity  of  the  fathers  upon  the  children  unto

seventh  day  is  the  sabbath  of  Jehovah  thy  God  :  in  it 
thou  shalt  not  do  any  work,  thou,  nor  thy  son,  nor  thy 
daughter,  thy  man-servant,  nor  thy  maid-servant,  nor 
thy  cattle,  nor  thy  stranger  that  is  within  thy  gates  :  for 
in  six  days  Jehovah  made  heaven  and  earth,  the  sea, 
and  all  that  in  them  is,  and  rested  the  seventh  day : 
wherefore  Jehovah  blessed  the  sabbath  day,  and  hal- 
lowed it. 

Jehovah  is  in  his  |  holy  temple  ; 
Be  silent  all  the  |  earth  before  him.

THE  TEN  COMMANDMENTS. 

DEUTERONOMY  V; 

Hear,  O  Israel,  the  statutes  and  judgments  which  I 
speak  in  your  ears  this  day,  that  ye  may  learn  them, 
and  keep,  and  do  them.  Jehovah  talked  with  you  face 
to  face  in  the  mount,  out  of  the  midst  of  the  fire, 
saying, 

I. 

I  AM  Jehovah  thy  God,  who  brought  thee  out  of 
the  land  of  Egypt,  from  the  house  of  bondage.  Thou 
shalt  have  none  other  gods  before  me.  Thou  shalt 
not  make  thee  any  graven  image,  or  any  likeness 
of  any  thing  that  is  in  heaven  above,  or  that  is  in  the 
earth  beneath,  or  that  is  in  the  waters  beneath  the  earth : 
thou  shalt  not  bow  down  thyself  to  them,  nor  serve 
them :  for  I  Jehovah  thy  God  am  a  jealous  God,  visit- 
ing the  iniquity  of  the  fathers  upon  the  children,  unto 
the  third  and  fourth  generation  of  them  that  hate  me ; 
and  showing  mercy  unto  the  thousandth  generation  of 
them  that  love  me,  and  keep  my  commandments. 

Holy,  holy,  holy,  Lord  |  God  Almighty ; 
Who  art,  and  who  wast,  and  who  ]  art  to  come.

Thou  shalt  not  take  the  name  of  Jehovah  thy  God 
in  vain :  for  Jehovah  will  not  hold  him  guiltless  that 
taketh  his  name  in  vain. 

Who  shall  not  fear  thee,  O  Lord,  and  [  glorify  thy  name ; 
For  thou  a|lone  art  holy. 

III. 

Keep  the  sabbath  day  to  sanctify  it,  as  Jehovah  thy 
God  hath  commanded  thee.  Six  days  thou  shalt  labor, 
and  do  all  thy  work :  but  the  seventh  day  is  the  sab- 
bath of  Jehovah  thy  God  :  in  it  thou  shalt  not  do  any 
work,  thou,  nor  thy  son,  nor  thy  daughter,  nor  thy 
man-servant,  nor  thy  maid-servant,  nor  thine  ox,  nor 
thine  ass,  nor  any  of  thy  cattle,  nor  thy  stranger  that 
is  within  thy  gates ;  that  thy  man-servant  and  thy 
maid-servant  may  rest  as  well  as  thou.  And  remember 
that  thou  wast  a  servant  in  the  land  of  Egypt,  and 
that  Jehovah  thy  God  brought  thee  out  thence  through 
a  mighty  hand  and  by  an  outstretched  arm ;  therefore 
Jehovah  thy  God  commanded  thee  to  keep  the  sabbath 
day. 

This  is  the  day  which  Jejhovah  hath  made, 
"We  will  rejoice  and  be  |  glad  in  it. 

IV. 

Honor  thy  father  and  thy  mother,  as  Jehovah  thy 
God  hath  commanded  thee;  that  thy  days  may  be 
prolonged,  and  that  it  may  go  well  with  thee,  in  the 
land  which  Jehovah  thy  God  giveth  thee. 

Thou  art  my  portion,  I  O  Jehovah  ; 

I  have  said  that  I  would  j  keep  thy  words. 


Thou  shalt  not  kill. 

Let  thy  mercies  come  unto  me,  that  |  I  may  live ; 
For  thy  law  is  |  my  delight.

THE  TSEW  COVENANT. 

And  seeing  the  multitudes,  he  went  up  into  a  moun- 
tain :  and  when  he  had  sat  down  his  disciples  came 
unto  him.  And  he  opened  his  mouth,  and  taught 
them,  saying. 

Blessed  are  the  poor  in  spirit :  for  theirs  is  the  king- 
dom of  heaven. 
2*

Blessed  are  they  that  mourn:  for  they  shall  be 
comforted. 

Blessed  are  the  meek :  for  they  shall  inherit  the 
earth. 

Blessed  are  they  that  do  hunger  and  thirst  after 
righteousness :  for  they  shall  be  filled. 

Blessed  are  the  merciful :  for  they  shall  obtain 
mercy. 

Blessed  are  the  pure  in  heart :  for  they  shall  see 
God. 

Blessed  are  the  peace-makers :  for  they  shall  be 
called  the  children  of  God. 

Blessed  are  they  that  are  persecuted  for  righteous- 
ness' sake :  for  theirs  is  the  kingdom  of  heaven. 

Blessed  are  ye,  when  they  shall  revile  you,  and  per- 
secute you,  and  shall  say  all  manner  of  evil  agairjst 
you  falsely,  for  my  sake. 

Rejoice  and  be  exceeding  glad;  for  great  is  your 
reward  in  heaven  :  for  so  persecuted  they  the  prophets 
who  were  before  you. 

[AAer  these  Blessings,  one  Or  more  of  the  following  passages  may  be  read.] 

Ye  are  the  salt  of  the  earth  :  but  if  the  salt  have  lost 
its  savor,  wherewith  shall  it  be  salted  ?  it  is  thenceforth 
good  for  nothing,  but  to  be  cast  out,  and  to  be  trodden 
under  foot  of  men.  Ye  are  the  light  of  the  world.  A 
city  that  is  set  on  an  hill  cannot  be  hid.  Neither  do 
men  light  a  candle,  and  put  it  under  a  bushel,  but  on 
a  candlestick  ;  and  it  giveth  light  unto  all  that  are  in 
the  house.  Let  your  light  so  shine  before  men,  that 
they  may  see  your  good  works,  and  glorify  your  Fa- 
ther who  is  in  heaven. 

TfflNK  not  that  I  am  come  to  destroy  the  Law,  or  the 
l*rophets :  I  am  not  come  to  destroy,  but  to  fulfil.  For 
verily,  I  say  unto  you,  Till  heaven  and  earth  pass,  one 
jot  or  one  tittle  shall  in  no  wise  pass  from  the  law,  till 
all  be  fulfilled.     Whosoever  therefore  shall  break  one 


ORDER  OF  WORSHIP.  1^ 

of  these  least  commandments,  and  shall  teach  men  so, 
he  shall  be  called  the  least  in  the  kingdom  of  heaven : 
but  whosoever  shall  do,  and  teach  them,  the  same  shall 
be  called  great  in  the  kingdom  of  heaven.  For  I  say 
unto  you,  that  except  your  righteousness  shall  exceed 
that  of  the  Scribes  and  Pharisees,  ye  shall  in  no  case 
enter  into  the  kingdom  of  heaven. 

Ye  have  heard  that  it  was  said  by  them  of  old  time, 
Thou  shalt  not  kill ;  and  whosoever  shall  kill,  shall  be 
in  danger  of  the  judgment :  But  I  say  unto  you,  That 
whosoever  is  angry  with  his  brother  without  a  cause, 
shall  be  in  danger  of  the  judgment :  and  whosoever 
shall  say  to  his  brother,  Raca,  shall  be  in  danger  of  the 
council :  but  whosoever  shall  say,  Thou  fool,  shall  be 
in  danger  of  hell-fire.  Therefore  if  thou  bring  thy  gift 
to  the  altar,  and  there  rememberest  that  thy  brother 
hath  aught  against  thee;  leave  there  thy  gift  before  the 
altar,  and  go  thy  way :  first  be  reconciled  to  thy  bro- 
ther, and  then  come  and  offer  thy  gift.  Agree  with 
thine  adversary  quickly,  while  thou  art  in  the  way 
with  him  ;  lest  at  any  time  the  adversary  deliver  thee 
to  the  judge,  and  the  judge  deliver  thee  to  the  officer, 
and  thou  be  cast  into  prison.  Verily  I  say  unto  thee. 
Thou  shalt  by  no  means  come  out  thence,  till  thou 
hast  paid  the  uttermost  farthing. 

Ye  have  heard  that  it  was  said  by  them  of  old  time. 
Thou  shalt  not  commit  adultery :  But  I  say  unto  you, 
That  whosoever  looketh  on  a  woman  to  lust  after  her, 
hath  committed  adultery  with  her  already  in  his 
heart.  And  if  thy  right  eye  ofl^end  thee,  pluck  it  out, 
and  cast  it  from  thee :  for  it  is  profitable  for  thee  that 
one  of  thy  members  should  perish,  and  not  that  thy 
whole  body  should  be  cast  into  hell.  And  if  thy  right 
hand  offend  thee,  cut  it  off",  and  cast  it  from  thee :  for 
it  is  profitable  for  thee  that  one  of  thy  members  should 
perish,  and  not  that  thy  whole  body  should  be  cast 
into  hell.  It  hath  been  said.  Whosoever  shall  put 
away  his  wife,  let  him  give  her  a  writing  of  divorce-.

ment :  but  I  say  unto  you,  That  whosoever  shall  put 
away  his  wife,  save  for  the  cause  of  fornication,  caus- 
eth  her  to  commit  adultery :  and  whosoever  shall 
marry  her  that  is  divorced  comraitteth  adultery. 

Again,  ye  have  heard  that  it  hath  been  said  by  them 
of  old  time,  Thou  shalt  not  forswear  thyself,  but  shalt 
perform  unto  the  Lord  thine  oaths :  But  I  say  unto 
you.  Swear  not  at  all :  neither  by  heaven ;  for  it  is 
God's  throne  :  nor  by  the  earth ;  for  it  is  his  footstool : 
neither  by  Jerusalem ;  for  it  is  the  city  of  the  great 
King :  neither  shalt  thou  swear  by  thy  head ;  because 
thou  canst  not  make  one  hair  white  or  black.  But  let 
your  communication  be  Yea,  yea ;  Nay,  nay :  for 
whatsoever  is  more  than  these  cometh  of  evil. 

Ye  have  heard  that  it  hath  been  said,  An  eye  for  an 
eye,  and  a  tooth  for  a  tooth.  But  I  say  unto  you,  That 
ye  resist  not  evil :  but  whosoever  shall  smite  thee  on 
thy  right  cheek,  turn  to  him  the  other  also.  And  if 
any  man  will  sue  thee  at  the  law,  and  take  away  thy 
coat,  let  him  have  thy  cloak  also.  And  whosoever 
shall  compel  thee  to  go  a  mile,  go  with  him  twain. 
Give  to  him  that  asketh  thee;  and  from  him  that 
would  borrow  of  thee,  turn  not  thou  away. 

Ye  have  heard  that  it  hath  been  said,  Thou  shalt 
love  thy  neighbor,  and  hate  thine  enemy :  But  I  say 
unto  you,  Love  your  enemies,  bless  them  that  curse 
you,  do  good  to  them  that  hate  you,  and  pray  for  them 
that  despitefully  use  you,  and  persecute  you :  that  ye 
may  be  the  children  of  your  Father  who  is  in  heaven: 
for  he  maketh  his  sun  to  rise  on  the  evil  and  on  the 
good,  and  sendeth  rain  on  the  just  and  on  the  unjust. 
For  if  ye  love  them  that  love  you,  what  reward  have 
ye  1  do  not  even  the  publicans  the  same  ?  And  if  ye 
salute  your  brethren  only,  what  do  ye  more  than 
others  1  do  not  even  the  publicans  so  ?  Be  ye  therefore 
perfect,  even  as  your  Father  who  is  in  heaven  is 
perfect. 


ORDER  OF  WORSHIP.  21 

Take  heed  that  ye  do  not  your  alms  before  men,  ia 
be  seen  of  them :  otherwise  ye  have  no  reward  of  your 
Father  who  is  in  heaven.  Therefore  when  thou  doest 
alms,  do  not  sound  a  trumpet  before  thee,  as  the  hypo- 
crites do  in  the  synagogues  and  in  the  streets,  that  they 
may  have  glory  of  men.  Verily  I  say  unto  you.  They 
have  their  reward.  But  when  thou  doest  alms,  let  not 
thy  left  hand  know  what  thy  right  hand  doeth :  that 
thine  alms  may  be  in  secret :  and  thy  Father  who 
seeth  in  secret  himself  shall  reward  thee  openly. 

And  when  thou  prayest,  thou  shalt  not  be  as  the  hy- 
pocrites :  for  they  love  to  pray  standing  in  the  syna- 
gogues and  in  the  corners  of  the  streets,  that  they  may 
be  seen  of  men.  Verily  I  say  unto  you.  They  have 
their  reward.  But  thou,  when  thou  prayest,  enter  into 
thy  closet,  and  when  thou  hast  shut  thy  door,  pray  to 
thy  Father  who  is  in  secret;  and  thy  Father  who 
seeth  in  secret  shall  reward  thee  openly.  But  when 
ye  pray,  use  not  vain  repetitions,  as  the  heathen  do : 
for  they  think  that  they  shall  be  heard  for  their  much 
speaking.  Be  not  ye  therefore  like  unto  them :  for 
your  Father  knoweth  what  things  ye  have  need  of,  be- 
fore ye  ask  him.  After  this  manner  therefore  pray  ye  : 
Our  Father,  who  art  in  the  heavens ;  Hallowed  be  thy 
name.  Thy  kingdom  come.  Thy  will  be  done,  as  in 
heaven,  so  also  upon  the  earth.  Give  us  this  day  our 
daily  bread.  And  forgive  us  our  debts,  as  we  also 
forgive  our  debtors.  And  lead  us  not  into  temptation ; 
but  deliver  us  from  evil.  For  thine  is  the  kingdom, 
and  the  power,  and  the  glory,  forever.  Amen.  For 
if  ye  forgive  men  their  trespasses,  your  heavenly  Father 
will  also  forgive  you :  but  if  ye  forgive  not  men  their 
trespasses,  neither  will  your  Father  forgive  your  tres- 
passes. 

Moreover  when  ye  fast,  be  not,  as  the  hypocrites,  of 
a  sad  countenance  :  for  they  disfigure  their  faces,  that 
they  may  appear  unto  men  to  fast.  Verily  I  say  unto 
you,  they  have  their  reward.     But  thou,  when  thou 


92  ORDER  OP  WORSHIP- 

faistest,  anoint  thine  head,  and  wash  thy  face ;  that  thou 
appear  not  unto  men  to  fast,  but  unto  thy  Father  who 
is  in  secret:  and  thy  Father,  who  seeth  in  secret, 
shall  reward  thee  openly. 

Lay  not  up  for  yourselves  treasures  upon  earth, 
where  moth  and  rust  doth  corrupt,  and  where  thieves 
break  through  and  steal:  but  lay  up  for  yourselves 
treasures  in  heaven,  where  neither  moth  nor  rust  doth 
corrupt,  and  where  thieves  do  not  break  through  nor 
steal :  for  where  your  treasure  is,  there  will  your  heart 
be  also.  The  light  of  the  body  is  the  eye :  if  therefore 
thine  eye  be  single,  thy  whole  body  shall  be  full  of 
light.  But  if  thine  eye  be  evil,  thy  whole  body  shall 
be  full  of  darkness.  If  therefore  the  light  that  is  in 
thee  be  darkness,  how  great  is  that  darkness !  No  man 
can  serve  two  masters :  for  either  he  will  hate  the 
one,  and  love  the  other ;  or  else  he  will  hold  to  the  one, 
and  despise  the  other.  Ye  cannot  serve  God  and  mam- 
mon. Therefore  I  say  unto  you,  Take  no  thought  for 
your  hfe,  what  ye  shall  eat,  or  what  ye  shall  drink ; 
nor  yet  for  your  body,  what  ye  shall  put  on.  Is  not 
the  life  more  than  meat,  and  the  body  than  raiment  ? 
Behold  the  fowls  of  the  air :  for  they  sow  not,  neither 
do  they  reap,  nor  gather  into  barns ;  yet  your  heavenly 
Father  feedeth  them.  Are  ye  not  much  better  than 
they?  Which  of  you  by  taking  thought  can  add  one 
Gubit  unto  his  stature  ?  And  why  take  ye  thought  for 
raiment  ?  Consider  the  lilies  of  the  field,  how  they 
grow ;  they  toil  not,  neither  do  they  spin  :  and  yet  I 
say  unto  you,  That  even  Solomon  in  all  his  glory  was 
not  arrayed  like  one  of  these  !  Wherefore,  if  God  so 
clothe  the  grass  of  the  field,  which  to-day  is,  and  to- 
morrow is  cast  into  the  oven,  shall  he  not  much  more 
clothe  you,  O  ye  of  little  faith?  Therefore  take  no 
thought,  saying,  What  shall  we  eat  ?  or.  What  shall 
we  drink  ?  or.  Wherewithal  shall  we  be  clothed  ?  for 
after  all  these  things  do  the  Gentiles  seek :  for  your 
heavenly  Father  knoweth  that  ye  have  need  of  all 


ORDER  OP  WORSHIP.  IS 

these  things.  But  seek  ye  first  the  kingdom  of  God, 
and  his  righteousness ;  and  all  these  things  shall  be 
added  unto  you.  Take  therefore  no  thought  for  the 
morrow :  for  the  morrow  shall  take  thought  for  the 
things  of  itself.  Sufficient  unto  the  day  is  the  evil 
thereof. 

Judge  not,  that  ye  be  not  judged.  For  with  what 
judgment  ye  judge,  ye  shall  be  judged  :  and  with  what 
measure  ye  mete,  it  shall  be  measured  to  you  again. 
And  why  beholdest  thou  the  mote  that  is  in  thy  bro- 
ther's eye,  but  considerest  not  the  beam  that  is  in  thine 
own  eye  ?  Or  how  wilt  thou  say  to  thy  brother,  Let 
me  pull  out  the  mote  out  of  thine  eye  ;  and,  behold  !  a 
beam  is  in  thine  own  eye  ?  Thou  hypocrite,  first  cast 
out  the  beam  out  of  thine  own  eye ;  and  then  shalt 
thou  see  clearly  to  cast  out  the  mote  out  of  thy  bro- 
ther's eye. 

Give  not  that  which  is  holy  unto  the  dogs,  neither 
cast  ye  your  pearls  before  swine,  lest  they  trample 
them  under  their  feet,  and  turn  again  and  rend  you. 

Ask,  and  it  shall  be  given  you ;  seek,  and  ye  shall 
find ;  knock,  and  it  shall  be  opened  unto  you :  for 
every  one  that  asketh  receiveth  ;  and  he  that  seeketh 
findeth ;  and  to  him  that  knocketh  it  shall  be  opened. 
Or  what  man  is  there  of  you,  of  whom  if  his  son  ask 
bread,  will  he  give  him  a  stone  1  Or  if  he  ask  a  fish, 
will  he  give  him  a  serpent  7  If  ye,  then,  being  evil, 
know  how  to  give  good  gifts  unto  your  children,  how 
much  more  shall  your  Father  who  is  in  heaven  give 
good  things  to  them  that  ask  him  !  Therefore  all 
things  whatsoever  ye  would  that  men  should  do  to 
you,  do  ye  even  so  to  them :  for  this  is  the  Law  and 
the  Prophets.

many  there  be  who  go  in  thereat :  because  strait  is  the 
gate,  and  narrow  is  the  way,  which  leadeth  unto  Hfe; 
and  few  there  be  that  find  it. 

Beware  of  false  prophets,  who  come  to  you  in  sheep's 
clothing,  but  inwardly  they  are  ravening  wolves.  Ye 
shall  know  them  by  their  fruits.  Do  men  gather 
grapes  of  thorns,  or  figs  of  thistles  7  Even  so  every 
good  tree  bringeth  forth  good  fruit ;  but  a  corrupt  tree 
bringeth  forth  bad  fruit.  A  good  tree  cannot  bring 
forth  bad  fruit,  neither  can  a  corrupt  tree  bring  forth 
good  fruit.  Every  tree  that  bringeth  not  forth  good 
fruit  is  hewn  down,  and  cast  into  the  fire.  Wherefore 
by  their  fruits  ye  shall  know  them. 

Not  every  one  that  saith  unto  me,  Lord,  Lord,  shall 
enter  into  the  kingdom  of  heaven ;  but  he  that  doeth 
the  will  of  my  Father  who  is  in  heaven.  Many  will 
say  to  me  in  that  day.  Lord,  Lord,  have  we  not  pro- 
phesied in  thy  name  1  and  in  thy  name  cast  out  devils'? 
and  in  thy  name  done  many  wonderful  works?  And 
then  will  I  profess  to  them,  I  never  knew  you :  depart 
from  me,  ye  that  work  iniquity.  Therefore,  whosoever 
heareth  these  sayings  of  mine,  and  doeth  them,  I  will 
liken  him  to  a  wise  man,  who  built  his  house  upon  a 
rock :  and  the  rain  descended,  and  the  floods  came, 
and  the  winds  blew,  and  beat  upon  that  house ;  and  it 
fell  not :  for  it  was  founded  upon  a  rock.  And  every 
one  that  heareth  these  sayings  of  mine,  and  doeth  them 
not,  shall  be  likened  to  a  foolish  man,  who  built  his 
house  upon  the  sand  :  and  the  rain  descended,  and  the 
floods  came,  and  the  winds  blew,  and  beat  upon  that 
house ;  and  it  fell :    and  great  was  the  fall  of  it. 

And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Jesus  had  ended  these 
sayings,  the  people  were  astonished  at  his  doctrine. 
For  be  taught  them  as  having  authority,  and  not  as 
the  scribes.

BAPTISM. 


tThe  Minister  commences  by  delivering  some  introductory  instructions.    The  following 
may  be  used,  in  whole  or  in  part.] 

NATURE  AND  USES  OF  BAPTISM. 

The  primary  thing  which  distinguished  the  Israelitish 
church  from  the  Christian,  Avas  circumcision ;  and  because  all 
things  of  the  Israelitish  church,  which  were  external,  figured 
forth  all  the  things  of  the  Christian  church,  which  were  inter- 
nal ;  therefore  the  primary  sign  of  that  church  was  inwardly 
similar  to  the  sign  of  the  Christian  church  :  for  circumcision 
signified  the  rejection  of  the  lusts  of  the  flesh,  and  thus  purifi- 
cation from  evils.  Baptism  also  signifies  the  same  ;  whence 
it  is  manifest  that  baptism  was  commanded  in  the  room  of  cir- 
cumcision, in  order  both  that  the  Christian  church  might  be 
distinguished  from  the  Jewish  church,  and  that  the  internal 
church  might  thus  be  better  known :  and  this  is  known  from 
the  uses  of  baptism,  which  are  as  follows. 

The  first  use  of  baptism  is  introduction  into  tlie  Christian 
church,  and  at  the  same  time  insertion  among  Christians  in 
the  spiritual  world. 

Not  only  infants,  but  also  all,  are  inserted  by  baptism 
among  Christians  in  the  spiritual  world;  becavise  people  and 
nations  in  that  world  are  distinguished  according  to  their 
religions,  as  Christians,  Mahometans,  Idolaters  and  Jews. 
And  all,  of  the  same  religion,  are  arranged  into  societies  in 
heaven,  according  to  the  aSections  of  love  to  God  and  love 
towards  the  neighbor.  On  this  distinct  arrangement  there, 
the  preservation  of  the  whole  universe  depends  ;  and  this  dis- 
tinction cannot  be  eflfected,  unless  every  one,  after  he  is  born, 
be  known  by  some  sign,  indicating  to  what  religious  society 
he  belongs  :  and  baptism  is  a  sign  in  that  world,  that  a  man 
is  of  Christians. 


BAPTISM.  27 

The  second  use  of  baptism  is,  that  the  Christian  may  know 
and  acknowledge  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  the  Redeemer  and 
Savior,  and  follow  him. 

This  second  use  inseparably  follows  from  the  first.  For 
the  name  that  one  is  a  Christian,  that  is,  that  he  is  of  Christ, 
and  not  to  acknowledge  him  and  follow  him,  that  is,  to  live 
according  to  his  commandments,  is  as  a  shadow. 

By  the  name  of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  are  meant  his  divine 
qualities  or  attributes ;  and  by  being  baptized  into  his  name 
are  spiritually  signified  an  acknowledgment  of  him,  and  a 
life  according  to  his  commandments.  By  name  also  is  meant 
the  quality  of  any  person  :  the  reason  is,  because  in  the  spi- 
ritual world  every  one  is  named  according  to  his  quality : 
wherefore  by  the  name  that  one  is  a  Christian  is  meant  his 
quality,  that  he  has  faith  in  Christ,  and  charity  towards  the 
neighbor  for  Christ.  This  name  all  receive  at  baptism,  for  it 
is  in  the  sign. 

The  third  use  of  baptism,  which  is  the  final  use,  is  that 
man  may  be  regenerated. 

This  use  is  the  very  use,  for  the  sake  of  which  baptism  was 
instituted ;  thus  the  final  use.  The  reason  is,  because  he 
who  is  truly  a  Christian,  knows  and  acknowledges  the  Lord 
the  Redeemer  Jesus  Christ,  who,  because  he  is  the  Redeemer, 
is  also  the  Regenerator. 

These  three  uses  of  baptism  cohere  as  one.  For  the  first 
use  is,  that  one  may  be  named  a  Christian :  the  second  fol- 
lowing from  this  is,  that  he  may  know  and  acknowledge  the 
Lord,  the  Redeemer,  Regenerator  and  Savior  :  and  the  third 
is,  that  he  may  be  regenerated  by  him  :  and  when  this  is 
done,  he  is  redeemed  and  saved.  Since  these  three  uses  fol- 
low in  order  and  join  themselves  together  in  the  last,  and 
thence  in  the  idea  of  the  angels  cohere  as  one,  therefore  when 
baptism  is  performed,  read  in  the  word,  and  named,  the  an- 
gels who  are  present  do  not  understand  baptism,  but  regenera- 
tion. Let  the  Christian  therefore  know,  that  whosoever  does 
not  believe  in  the  Lord,  cannot  be  regenerated,  although  he 
has  been  baptized ;  and  that  baptism,  without  faith  in  the 
Lord,  has  no  saving  effect. 

It  is  said  in  the  Word,  that  the  Lord  God,  our  Redeemer, 
baptizes  with  the  Holy  Spirit  and  with  fire.  By  this  is  meant 
that  the  Lord  regenerates  man  by  the  divine  truth  of  faith, 
and  by  the  divine  good  of  love  or  charity.  Those  who  have 
been  regenerated  by  the  Holy  Spirit,  that  is,  by  the  divine 


98  BAPTISM. 

truth  of  faith,  are  distinguished  in  the  heavens  from  those 
who  have  been  regenerated  by  fire,  that  is,  by  the  divine 
good  of  love.  Those  who  have  been  regenerated  by  the 
divine  truth  of  faith,  are  called  spiritual  angels  ;  but  those  who 
have  been  regenerated  by  the  divine  good  of  love,  are  called 
celestial  angels, 

[Then  the  Minister  may  read  the  following.] 

DOCTRINES  OF  CHARITY  AND  OF  FAITH. 

I.  That  God  is  one  in  essence,  and  in  person  :  that 
from  love  towards  men  he  assumed  humanity  and  glo- 
rified it :  and  that  he  thus  became  God  with  us,  the 
Savior  and  Redeemer,  Jesus  Christ. 

II.  That  the  Word  is  Divine  Truth,  proceeding  from 
the  Lord :  that  it  was  written  by  inspiration,  and  is 
adapted  to  all  the  various  states  of  angels  and  men : 
and  that  thus  it  is  the  divine  medium  by  which  men 
are  consociated  with  angels,  and  by  which  men  and 
angels  are  conjoined  with  the  Lord. 

III.  That  the  Lord  alone  is  the  Source  of  genuine 
life,  the  precepts  of  which  are  the  Ten  Commandments  : 
that  these  precepts  are  to  be  obeyed  by  man  as  of  him- 
self, with  the  acknowledgment  that  the  will  and  power 
to  do  them  are  of  the  Lord  alone  :  and  thus  that  men 
are  regenerated  and  saved  by  the  Lord,  by  means  of  a 
life  according  to  his  precepts. 

(Tlie  Minister  shall  then  read  one  or  more  of  the  following  passages  from  the  Word.] 

Comfort  ye,  comfort  ye  my  people ! 
Saith  your  God. 

Speak  ye  comfortably  to  Jerusalem,  and  cry  unto  her, 
That  her  warfare  is  accomplished, 
That  her  iniquity  is  pardoned : 
For  she  hath  received  of  Jehovah's  hand 
Double  for  all  her  sins. 

The  voice  of  him  that  crieth  in  the  wilderness, 
Prepare  ye  the  way  of  Jehovah  ; 


BAPTISM.  29 

Make  straight  in  the  desert  a  highway  for  our  God  ! 

Every  valley  shall  be  exalted, 

And  every  mountain  and  hill  shall  be  made  low ; 

And  the  crooked  shall  be  made  straight. 

And  the  rough  places  plain  : 

And  the  glory  of  Jehovah  shall  be  revealed, 

And  all  flesh  shall  see  it  together  :  .     • 

For  the  mouth  of  Jehovah  hath  spoken  it. 

Behold  !  I  will  send  my  messenger, 

And  he  shall  prepare  the  way  before  me : 

And  the  Lord,  whom  ye  seek, 

Shall  suddenly  come  to  his  temple. 

Even  the  Messenger  of  the  covenant,  whom  ye  delight 
in : 

Behold !  he  shall  come,  saith  Jehovah  of  hosts. 

But  who  may  abide  the  day  of  his  coming ! 

And  who  shall  stand  when  he  appeareth ! 

For  he  is  like  a  refiner's  fire,  and  like  fuller's  soap: 

And  he  shall  sit  as  a  refiner  and  purifier  of  silver : 

And  he  shall  purify  the  sons  of  Levi, 

And  purge  them  as  gold  and  silver, 

That  they  may  offer  unto  Jehovah  an  offering  in  right- 
eousness. 

Then  shall  the  offering  of  Judah  and  Jerusalem 

Be  pleasant  unto  Jehovah, 

As  in  the  days  of  old. 

And  as  in  former  years. 

In  those  days  came  John  the  Baptist,  preaching  in 
the  wilderness  of  Judasa,  and  saying.  Repent  ye :  for 
the  kingdom  of  heaven  is  at  hand  !  For  this  is  he  that 
was  spoken  of  by  the  prophet  Esaias,  saying,  The 
voice  of  one  crying  in  the  wilderness,  Prepare  ye  the 
way  of  the  Lord  !  make  his  paths  straight !  And  the 
same  John  had  his  raiment  of  camel's  hair,  and  a  lea- 
thern girdle  about  his  loins ;  and  his  meat  was  locusts 
and  wild  honey. 

Then  went  out  to  him  Jerusalem,  and  all  Judaea, 
and  all  the  region  round  about  Jordan,  and  were  bap- 
3* 


30  BAPTISM. 

tized  of  him  in  Jordan,  confessing  their  sins.  But  when 
he  saw  many  of  the  Pharisees  and  Sadducees  come  to 
his  baptism,  he  said  unto  them,  O  generation  of  vipers! 
who  hath  warned  you  to  flee  from  the  wrath  to  come  ? 
Bring  forth  therefore  fruits  meet  for  repentance :  and 
think  not  to  say  within  yourselves,  We  have  Abraham 
for  a  father  :  for  I  say  unto  you,  that  God  is  able  of 
these  stones  to  raise  up  children  unto  Abraham.  And 
now  also  the  axe  is  laid  unto  the  root  of  the  trees : 
therefore  every  tree  which  bringeth  not  forth  good 
fruit  is  hewn  down,  and  cast  into  the  fire.  I  indeed 
baptize  you  with  water  unto  repentance :  but  he  that 
Cometh  after  me  is  mightier  than  1,  whose  shoes  I  am 
not  worthy  to  bear :  he  shall  baptize  you  with  the  Holy 
Spirit,  and  with  fire :  whose  fan  is  in  his  hand,  and  he 
will  thoroughly  purge  his  floor,  and  gather  his  wheat 
into  the  garner;  but  he  will  burn  up  the  chafl"  with 
unquenchable  fire. 

Then  cometh  Jesus  from  Galilee  to  Jordan  unto 
John,  to  be  baptized  of  him.  But  John  forbade  him, 
saying,  I  have  need  to  be  baptized  of  thee,  and  comest 
thou  to  me !  And  Jesus  answering  said  unto  him, 
Sufler  it  to  be  so  now  ;  for  thus  it  becometh  us  to  fulfil 
all  righteousness.  Then  he  suffered  him.  And  Jesus, 
when  he  was  baptized,  went  up  straightway  out  of  the 
water :  and,  lo !  the  heavens  were  opened  unto  him, 
and  he  saw  the  Spirit  of  God  descending  like  a  dove, 
and  lighting  upon  him  :  and  lo  !  a  voice  from  heaven, 
saying.  This  is  my  beloved  Son,  in  whom  I  am  well 
pleased. 

There  was  a  man  of  the  Pharisees,  named  Nicode- 
mus,  a  ruler  of  the  Jews :  the  same  came  to  Jesus  by 
night,  and  said  unto  him,  Rabbi,  we  know  that  thou 
art  a  teacher  come  from  God  :  for  no  man  can  do  these 
miracles  that  thou  doest,  except  God  be  with  him. 

Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  him,  Verily,  verily,  I 
say  unto  thee.  Except  a  man  be  born  again,  he  cannot 
see  the  kingdom  of  God. 

Nicodemus  saith  unto  him,  How  can  a  man  be  bom 


BAPTISM.  31 

when  he  is  old  1  can  he  enter  the  second  time  into  his 
mother's  womb,  and  be  born  1 

Jesus  answered,  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  thee,  ex- 
cept a  man  be  born  of  water  and  of  the  Spirit,  he  can- 
not enter  into  the  kingdom  of  God.  That  which  is 
born  of  the  flesh  is  flesh  ;  and  that  which  is  born  of  the 
Spirit  is  spirit.  Marvel  not  that  I  said  unto  thee.  Ye 
must  be  born  again.  The  wind  bloweth  where  it  list- 
eth,  and  thou  hearest  the  sound  thereof,  but  canst  not 
tell  whence  it  cometh,  and  whither  it  goeth :  so  is  every 
one  that  is  born  of  the  Spirit. 

Nicodemus  answered  and  said  unto  him,  How  can 
these  things  be  7 

Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  him.  Art  thou  a  master 
of  Israel,  and  knowest  not  these  things  1  Verily,  verily, 
I  say  unto  thee.  We  speak  what  we  do  know,  and  testify 
what  we  have  seen ;  and  ye  receive  not  our  witness. 
If  I  have  told  you  earthly  things,  and  ye  believed  not, 
how  shall  ye  believe,  if  I  tell  you  of  heavenly  things  7 
And  no  man  hath  ascended  up  to  heaven,  but  he  that 
came  down  from  heaven,  even  the  Son  of  man  who 
is  in  heaven.  And  as  Moses  lifted  up  the  serpent  in 
the  wilderness,  even  so  must  the  Son  of  man  be  lifted 
up :  that  whosoever  believeth  in  him  should  not  perish, 
but  have  eternal  life.  For  God  so  loved  the  world, 
that  he  gave  his  only  begotten  Son,  that  whosoever 
believeth  in  him  should  not  perish,  but  have  everlasting 
life.  For  God  sent  not  his  Son  into  the  world  to 
condemn  the  world ;  but  that  the  world  through  him 
might  be  saved.  He  that  believeth  on  him  is  not  con- 
demned :  but  he  that  believeth  not  is  condemned  al- 
ready, because  he  hath  not  believed  in  the  name  of  the 
only  begotten  Son  of  God.  And  this  is  the  condemna- 
tion, that  light  is  come  into  the  world,  and  men  loved 
darkness  rather  than  light,  because  their  deeds  were 
evil.  For  every  one  that  doeth  evil  hateth  the  light, 
neither  cometh  to  the  light,  lest  his  deeds  should  be 
reproved.  But  he  that  doeth  truth  cometh  to  the  light, 
that  his  deeds  may  be  made  manifest,  that  they  are 
wrought  in  God. 


32  fiAM-isM. 

1  AM  the  good  shepherd :  the  good  shepherd  giveth 
his  Ufe  for  the  sheep.  I  am  the  good  shepherd,  and 
know  my  sheep,  and  am  known  of  mine.  As  the 
Father  knoweth  me,  even  so  know  I  the  Father: 
and  I  lay  down  my  hfe  for  the  sheep.  And  other 
sheep  I  have,  which  are  not  of  this  fold :  them  also 
I  must  hring,  and  they  shall  hear  my  voice;  and 
there  shall  be  one  fold,  and  one  shepherd.  There- 
fore doth  my  Father  love  me,  because  I  lay  down  my 
life,  that  I  might  take  it  again.  No  man  taketli  it 
from  me,  but  I  lay  it  down  of  myself.  I  have  power 
to  lay  it  down,  and  I  have  power  to  take  it  again. 
This  commandment  have  I  received  of  my  Father. 

My  sheep  hear  my  voice,  and  1  know  them,  and 
they  follow  me  :  and  I  give  unto  them  eternal  life ; 
and  they  shall  never  perish,  neither  shall  any  one 
pluck  them  out  of  my  hand.  My  Father,  who  gave 
them  me,  is  greater  than  all ;  and  no  one  is  able  to 
pluck  them  out  of  my  Father's  hand.  I  and  the 
Father  are  one. 

And  they  brought  young  children  to  him,  that  he 
should  touch  them:  and  the  disciples  rebuked  those 
that  brought  them.  But  when  Jesus  saw  it,  he  was 
much  displeased,  and  said  unto  them,  Suffer  the  little 
children  to  come  unto  me,  and  forbid  them  not :  for  of 
such  is  the  kingdom  of  God.  Verily,  I  say  unto  you, 
Whosoever  shall  not  receive  the  kingdom  of  God  as  a 
little  child,  he  shall  not  enter  therein.  And  he  took 
them  up  in  his  arms,  put  his  hands  upon  them,  and 
blessed  them. 

And  Jesus  came  and  spake  unto  them,  saying.  All 
power  is  given  unto  me  in  heaven  and  in  earth.  Go 
ye  therefore,  and  teach  all  nations,  baptizing  them  into 
the  name  of  the  Father,  and  of  the  Son,  and  of  the 
Holy  Spirit ;  teaching  them  to  observe  all  things  what- 
soever I  have  commanded  you :  and,  lo !  I  am  with 
you  all  the  days,  mitil  the  consummation  of  the  age. 
Amen.

THE  HOLY   SUPPER. 


[The  Minister  commences  by  giving  some  introductory  instructions.    Tiie  following 
may  be  used,  in  wtiole  or  in  part.] 


NATURE  AND  USES  OF  THE  HOLY  SUPPER. 

Baptism  is  an  introduction  into  the  church,  and  the  Holy- 
Supper  is  an  introduction  into  heaven.  These  two  sacra- 
ments are,  as  it  were,  two  gates  to  eternal  life.  Every 
Christian  man  by  baptism,  which  is  the  first  gate,  is  admitted 
and  introduced  into  the  things  which  the  church  teaches  from 
the  Word  concerning  another  life ;  which  all  are  means,  by 
which  man  may  be  prepared  for  and  led  to  heaven.  The 
other  gate  is  the  Holy  Supper,  through  which  every  man, 
who  has  suffered  himself  to  be  prepared  and  led  by  the  Lord, 
is  admitted  and  introduced  into  heaven. 

The  holiness  of  this  sacrament  is  made  manifest,  since  the 
spiritual  sense  of  the  Word,  and  the  correspondence  of  natural 
things  with  spiritual,  have  by  the  divine  mercy  of  the  Lord 
been  revealed. 

By  these  four  things,  ^sA,  blood,  bread  and  wine,  are  meant 
the  spiritual  and  celestial  things  which  correspond  to  them,  as 
may  be  evident  from  the  passages  in  the  Word  where  they 
are  named.  By  jlesh  and  blood  are  meant  good  and  truth, 
both  spiritual.  This  is  still  more  evident  from  the  significa- 
tion of  bread  and  wine  ;  since  the  Lord  says,  that  his  flesh  is 
bread,  and  that  his  blood  is  wine. 

That  by  the  blood  of  the  Lord  is  meant  the  Divine  Truth 
of  Himself  and  the  Word,  is  because  by  his  flesh  spiritually  is 
meant  the  divine  good  of  love ;  and  these  two  are  united  in 
the  Lord.  It  is  known  that  the  Lord  is  the  Word ;  and  there 
are  two  things  to  which  all  things  of  the  Word  have  reference, 


THE  HOLY  SUPPER.  35 

divine  good  and  divine  truth ;  vrherefore  if  the  Word  is  taken 
for  the  Lord,  it  is  manifest,  that  these  two  things  are  meant 
by  his  flesh  and  blood.  That  the  divine  truth  of  the  Lord, 
or  of  the  Word,  is  meant  by  blood,  is  evident  from  many  pas- 
sages ;  as  that  blood  was  called  the  blood  of  the  covenant ; 
and  a  covenant  is  conjunction,  and  this  is  effected  by  the  Lord 
by  means  of  his  divine  truth.  By  the  Blood  of  the  Neio  Co- 
venant,  or  Testament.,  nothing  else  is  signified  but  the  Word, 
which  is  called  a  Covenant  and  Testament,  Old  and  New,  thus 
the  divine  truth  therein.  Since  this  is  signified  by  blood, 
therefore  the  Lord  gave  them  wine,  saying.  This  is  my  blood  ^ 
and  wine  signifies  divine  truth ;  Avherefore  it  also  is  called 
the  blood  of  grapes.  Hence,  now,  it  may  be  evident  what  is 
meant  by  the  flesh  and  blood  of  the  Lord,  and  by  bread  and 
wine,  in  the  threefold  sense,  natural,  spiritual  and  celestial. 

Every  man  in  Christendom,  imbued  with  religion,  may 
know,  or  if  he  does  not  know,  may  learn,  that  natural  nourish- 
ment is  for  the  body,  but  spiritual  nourishment  for  the  soul : 
for  Jehovah,  the  Lord,  says  in  Moses,  Man  doth  not  live  by 
bread  alone,  but  by  every  thing  that  proceedeth  out  of  the 
mouth  of  Jehovah  doth  man  live.  Now,  because  the  body 
dies,  and  the  soul  lives  after  death,  it  follows,  that  spiritual 
nourishment  is  for  eternal  salvation.  But  if  any  one  cannot 
think  any  thing  else  from  the  understanding  than  what  he  sees 
with  the  eye,  let  him  think  with  himself  concerning  the  holy 
supper,  when  he  takes  the  bread  and  wine  and  hears  them 
then  called  the  flesh  and  blood  of  the  Lord,  that  it  is  the  most 
holy  thing  of  worship  ;  and  let  him  remember  the  passion  of 
Christ,  and  his  love  for  the  salvation  of  man ;  for  he  says, 
Do  this  in  remembrance  of  Me. 

The  holy  supper  is,  to  those  who  come  to  it  worthily,  a 
signing  and  seal  that  they  are  the  sons  of  God  ;  because  the 
Lord  is  then  present,  and  introduces  into  heaven  those  who 
are  born  of  him,  that  is,  the  regenerate.  That  the  holy  sup- 
per does  this,  is  because  the  Lord  is  then  present  also,  as  to 
his  Human :  for  He  says  of  the  bread.  This  is  my  -body,  and 
of  the  wine.  This  is  my  blood  ;  consequently,  he  admits  them 
into  his  body  ;  and  the  church  and  heaven  constitute  his  body. 
When  man  is  being  regenerated,  the  Lord  is  indeed  present, 
and  by  his  divine  operation  prepares  man  for  heaven ;  but 
that  he  may  actually  enter,  man  must  actually  present  himself 
to  the  Lord :  and  because  the  Lord  actually  presents  himself 
to  man,  man  must  actually  receive  Him ;  not,  indeed,  as  He 


36  THE  HOLY  SUPPER. 

hung  on  the  cross,  but  as  He  is,  in  his  glorified  Human,  in 
which  He  is  present:  and  the  body  of  this  is  divine  good,  and 
its  blood  is  divine  truth.  These  are  given  to  man,  and  by 
them  he  is  regenerated,  and  is  in  the  Lord,  and  the  Lord  in 
him ;  for,  as  was  shown,  the  eating  which  is  performed  in  the 
holy  supper  is  a  spiritual  eating.  From  these  things,  rightly 
perceived,  it  is  evident,  that  the  holy  supper  is  a  signing  and 
seal,  that  those  who  come  to  it  worthily  are  the  sons  of 
God. 

Wherefore,  all  those  who  worthily  go  to  the  holy  Communion, 
become  his  redeemed ;  and  because  by  redemption  are  meant 
deliverance  from  hell,  and  conjunction  with  Him,  and  salva- 
tion, therefore  those  fruits  are  ascribed  to  man ;  not,  indeed, 
so  far  as  the  Lord  wills,  because  from  his  divine  love  He  wills 
to  ascribe  them  all ;  but  as  far  as  man  receives  :  and  he  who 
receives  is  redeemed  in  the  degree  in  which  he  receives. 
Whence  it  is  evident,  that  the  effects  and  fruits  of  the  Lord's 
redemption  return  to  those  who  worthily  approach. 

tnien  shall  be  read  aome  of  the  following  poitiona  Cmm  the  Word.] 

And  in  this  mountain  shall  Jehovah  of  hosts  make 

unto  all  people 
A  feast  of  fat  things,  a  feast  of  wines  on  the  lees, 
Of  fat  things  full  of  marrow, 
Of  wines  on  the  lees  well  refined. 
And  he  will  destroy  in  this  mountain 
The  face  of  the  covering  cast  over  all  people,      ** 
And  the  vail  that  is  spread  over  all  nations. 
He  will  swallow  up  death  in  victory ; 
And  the  Lord  Jehovih  will  wipe  away  tears  from  off 

all  faces  ; 
And  the  rebuke  of  his  people  shall  he  take  away  from 

oflf  all  the  earth ; 
For  Jehovah  hath  spoken  it. 
And  it  shall  be  said  in  that  day, 
Lo,  this  is  our  God  ! 

We  have  waited  for  him,  and  he  will  save  us : 
This  is  Jehovah  ! 
We  have  waited  for  him. 
We  will  be  glad  and  rejoice  in  his  salvation. 


THE  HOLY  SUPPER.  37 

And,  thou  son  of  man !  thus  saith  the  Lord  Jehovih  ; 
Speak  unto  every  feathered  fowl,  and  to  every  beast 
of  the  field, 

Assemble  yourselves,  and  come ! 
Gather  yourselves  on  every  side 
To  my  sacrifice  that  I  do  sacrifice  for  you, 
A  great  sacrifice  upon  the  mountains  of  Israel, 
That  ye  may  eat  flesh,  and  drink  blood. 
Ye  shall  eat  the  flesh  of  the  mighty, 
And  drink  the  blood  of  the  princes  of  the  earth. 
Of  rams,  of  lambs,  and  of  goats,  of  bullocks. 
All  of  them  fallings  of  Bashan. 
And  ye  shall  eat  fat  till  ye  be  full, 
And  drink  blood  till  ye  be  drunken, 
Of  my  sacrifice  which  I  have  sacrificed  for  you. 
Thus  ye  shall  be  filled  at  my  table  with  horses  and 

chariots. 
With  mighty  men,  and  with  all  men  of  war, 
Saith  the  Lord  JEHOvra. 
And  I  will  set  my  glory  among  the  heathen, 
And  all  the  heathen  shall   see  my  judgment  that  I 

have  executed, 
And  my  hand  that  I  have  laid  upon  them. 
So  the  house  of  Israel  shall  know  that  I  am  Jehovah 

their  God, 
From  that  day  and  forward. 

Alleluia  !  for  the  Lord  God  Omnipotent  reigneth ! 
Let  us  be  glad  and  rejoice,  and  give  honor  to  him :  for 
the  marriage  of  the  Lamb  is  come,  and  his  wife  hath 
made  herself  ready.  And  to  her  was  granted  that  she 
should  be  arrayed  in  fine  linen,  clean  and  white :  for 
the  fine  linen  is  the  righteousness  of  saints.  And  he 
saith  unto  me,  Write,  Blessed  are  they  who  are  called 
unto  the  marriage  supper  of  the  Lamb. 

And  I  saw  an  angel  standing  in  the  sun ;  and  he 
cried  with  a  loud  voice,  saying  to  all  the  fowls  that  fly 
in  the  midst  of  heaven,   Come  and  gather  yourselves 
together  unto  the  supper  of  the  great  God  !

38  THE  HOLY  SUPPER. 

Now  the  feast  of  unleavened  bread  drew  nigh,  which 
is  called  the  passover.  And  the  chief  priests  and 
scribes  sought  how  they  might  kill  him :  for  they 
feared  the  people.  Then  entered  Satan  into  Judas, 
surnamed  Iscariot,  being  of  the  number  of  the  twelve. 
And  he  went  his  way,  and  communed  with  the  chief 
priests  and  captains,  how  he  might  betray  him  unto 
them.  And  they  were  glad,  and  covenanted  to  give 
him  money.  And  he  promised,  and  sought  opportu- 
nity to  betray  him  unto  them  in  the  absence  of  the 
multitude. 

Then  came  the  day  of  unleavened  bread,  when  the 
passover  must  be  killed.  And  he  sent  Peter  and  John, 
saying,  Go  and  prepare  us  the  passover,  that  we  may 
eat.  And  they  said  unto  him,  Where  wilt  thou  that 
we  prepare  1  And  he  said  unto  them.  Behold  !  when 
ye  are  entered  into  the  city,  there  shall  a  man  meet 
you,  bearing  a  pitcher  of  water ;  follow  him  into  the 
house  where  he  entereth  in.  And  ye  shall  say  unto 
the  good  man  of  the  house.  The  Master  saith  unto  thee, 
Where  is  the  guestchamber,  where  I  shall  eat  the  pass- 
over  with  my  disciples  ?  And  he  shall  show  you  a 
large  upper  room  furnished  :  there  make  ready.  And 
they  went,  and  found  as  he  had  said  unto  them  :  and 
they  made  ready  the  passover. 

And  when  the  hour  was  come,  he  sat  down,  and  the 
twelve  apostles  with  him.  And  he  said  unto  them. 
With  desire  I  have  desired  to  eat  this  passover  with 
you  before  I  suffer :  for  I  say  unto  you,  I  will  not  any 
more  eat  thereof,  until  it  be  fulfilled  in  the  kingdom  of 
God.  And  he  took  the  cup,  and  gave  thanks,  and 
said,  Take  this,  and  divide  it  among  yourselves  :  for  I 
say  unto  you,  I  will  not  drink  of  the  fruit  of  the  vine, 
until  the  kingdom  of  God  shall  come. 

And  he  took  bread,  and  gave  thanks,  and  brake  it, 
and  gave  unto  them,  saying.  This  is  my  body  which 
is  given  for  you :  this  do  ye  in  remembrance  of  me. 
Likewise  also  the  cup  after  supper,  saying.  This  cup  is 
the  new  testament  in  my  blood,  which  is  shed  for  you. 


THE  HOLY  SUPPER.  39 

Behold  !  I  stand  at  the  door,  and  knock  :  if  any  one 
hear  my  voice,  and  open  the  door,  I  will  come  in  nnto 
him,  and  will  sup  with  him,  and  he  with  me.  To  him 
that  overcometh  will  I  grant  to  sit  with  me  in  my 
throne,  even  as  I  also  overcame,  and  sat  down  with 
my  Father  in  his  throne.  He  that  hath  an  ear,  let 
him  hear  what  the  Spirit  saith  unto  the  churches  ! 

Therefore  if  thou  bring  thy  gift  to  the  altar,  and 
there  rememberest  that  thy  brother  hath  aught  against 
thee ;  leave  there  thy  gift  before  the  altar,  and  go  thy 
way :  first  be  reconciled  to  thy  brother,  and  then  come 
and  offer  thy  gift. 

Labor  not  for  the  meat  which  perisheth,  but  for  that 
meat  which  endureth  unto  everlasting  life,  which  the  Son 
of  man  shall  give  unto  you :  for  him  hath  God  the  Father 
sealed.  Then  said  they  unto  him.  What  shall  we  do, 
that  we  might  work  the  works  of  God  7  Jesus  an- 
swered and  said  unto  them.  This  is  the  work  of  God, 
that  ye  believe  on  him  whom  he  hath  sent.  They  said 
therefore  unto  him,  What  sign  showest  thou  then,  that 
we  may  see,  and  believe  thee  ?  what  dost  thou  work  ? 
Our  fathers  did  eat  manna  in  the  desert ;  as  it  is  writ- 
ten. He  gave  them  bread  from  heaven  to  eat.  Then 
Jesus  said  unto  them.  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you, 
Moses  gave  you  not  that  bread  from  heaven ;  but  my 
Father  giveth  you  the  true  bread  from  heaven.  For 
the  bread  of  God  is  he  who  cometh  down  from  heaven, 
and  giveth  life  unto  the  world.  Then  said  they  unto 
him,  Lord,  evermore  give  us  this  bread.  And  Jesus 
said  unto  them,  I  am  the  bread  of  life :  he  that  cometh 
to  me  shall  never  hunger ;  and  he  that  believeth  on  me 
shall  never  thirst.  But  I  said  unto  you.  That  ye  also 
have  seen  me,  and  believe  not.  All  that  the  Father 
giveth  me  shall  come  to  me ;  and  him  that  cometh  to 
me  I  will  in  no  wise  cast  out.  For  1  came  down 
from  heaven,  not  to  do  mine  own  will,  but  the  will  of 
him  that  sent  me.  And  this  is  the  Father's  will  who 
hath  sent  me,  that  of  all  which  he  hath  given  me  I 


40  THE  HOLY  SUPPER. 

should  lose  nothing,  but  should  raise  it  up  again  at 
the  last  day.  And  this  is  the  will  of  him  that  sent 
me,  that  every  one  who  seeth  the  Son,  and  believeth 
on  him,  may  have  everlasting  life :  and  I  will  raise 
him  up  at  the  last  day. 

The  Jews  then  murmured  at  him,  because  he  said,  I 
am  the  bread  which  came  down  from  heaven.  And 
they  said,  is  not  this  Jesus,  the  son  of  Joseph,  whose 
father  and  mother  we  know  ?  how  is  it  then  that  he 
saith,  I  came  down  from  heaven?  Jesus  therefore 
answered  and  said  unto  them,  Murmur  not  among 
yourselves.  No  one  can  come  to  me,  except  the  Fa- 
ther who  hath  sent  me  draw  him :  and  I  will  raise  him 
up  at  the  last  day.  It  is  written  in  the  Prophets,  And 
they  shall  be  all  taught  of  God.  Every  one  therefore 
that  hath  heard,  and  hath  learned  of  the  Father,  com- 
eth  unto  me.  Not  that  any  one  hath  seen  the  Fa- 
ther, save  he  who  is  of  God,  he  hath  seen  the  Father. 
Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  He  that  believeth  on  me 
hath  everlasting  life.  I  am  that  bread  of  life.  Your 
fathers  did  eat  the  manna  in  the  wilderness,  and  are 
dead.  This  is  the  bread  which  cometh  down  from 
heaven,  that  one  may  eat  thereof,  and  not  die.  I 
am  the  living  bread  which  came  down  from  heaven : 
if  any  one  eat  of  this  bread,  he  shall  live  for  ever :  and 
the  bread  that  I  will  give  is  my  flesh,  which  I  will 
give  for  the  life  of  the  world. 

Now  the  first  day  of  the  feast  of  unleavened  bread 
the  disciples  came  to  Jesus,  saying  unto  him,  Where 
wilt  thou  that  we  prepare  for  thee  to  eat  the  passover  1 
And  he  said,  Go  into  the  city  to  such  an  one,  and  say 
unto  him.  The  Master  saith.  My  time  is  at  hand ;  I 
will  keep  the  passover  at  thy  house  with  my  disciples. 
And  the  disciples  did  as  Jesus  had  appointed  them ; 
and  they  made  ready  the  passover. 

Now  when  the  evening  was  come,  he  sat  down  with 
the  twelve.  And  as  they  did  eat,  he  said.  Verily,  I  say 
unto  you,  that  one  of  you  shall  betray  me.  And  they 
were  exceedingly  sorrowful,  and  began  every  one  of 


THE  HOLY  SUPPER.  41 

them  to  say  unto  him,  Lord,  is  it  I  ?  And  he  answered 
and  said.  He  that  dippeth  his  hand  with  me  in  the 
dish,  the  same  shall  betray  me.  The  Son  of  man 
goeth  as  it  is  written  of  him  :  but  woe  unto  that  man 
by  whom  the  Son  of  man  is  betrajT'ed !  it  had  been 
good  for  that  man  if  he  had  not  been  born  !  Then 
Judas,  who  betrayed  him,  answered  and  said,  Master, 
is  it  I  ?     He  said  unto  him.  Thou  hast  said. 

And  as  they  were  eating,  Jesus  took  the  bread,  and 
blessed,  and  brake,  and  gave  to  the  disciples,  and  said, 
Take,  eat ;  this  is  my  body.  And  he  took  the  cup, 
and  gave  thanks,  and  gave  to  them,  saying.  Drink  ye 
all  of  it ;  for  this  is  my  blood  of  the  new  covenant, 
which  is  shed  for  many  for  the  remission  of  sins.  But 
I  say  unto  you,  I  will  not  drink  henceforth  of  this  fruit 
of  the  vine,  until  that  day  when  I  drink  it  new  with 
you  in  my  Father's  kingdom.  And  when  they  had 
sung  an  hymn,  they  went  out  into  the  Mount  of  Olives. 

{Then  shall  be  repeated  the  Lord's  Prayer,  all  kneeling:.] 

Our  Father,  who  art  in  the  heavens ;  Hallowed  be 
thy  name.  Thy  kingdom  come.  Thy  will  be  done, 
as  in  heaven,  so  also  upon  the  earth.  Give  us  this  day 
our  daily  bread.  And  forgive  us  our  debts,  as  we  also 
forgive  our  debtors.  And  lead  us  not  into  temptation ; 
but  deliver  us  from  evil.  For  thine  is  the  kingdom, 
and  the  power,  and  the  glory,  forever.     Amen. 

{Then  the  Minister,  distributing  the  bread,  shall  say :] 

Jesus  took  the  Bread,  and  blessed,  and  brake,  and 
gave  to  the  disciples,  and  said.  Take,  eat ;  this  is  my 
Body. 

[And  when  he  gives  the  cup,  he  shall  say  :] 

And  he  took  the  Cup,  and  gave  thanks,  and  gave  it 

to   them,  saying.  Drink  ye  all  of  it;  for  this  is  my 

Blood  of  the  New  Covenant,  which  is  shed  for  many 

for  the  remission  of  sins.

^  THE  HOLY  SUPPER. 

(When  all  hare  paitaken,  the  following  passages  may  be  read.] 

Now  before  the  feast  of  the  passover,  when  Jesus 
knew  that  his  hour  was  come  that  he  should  depart 
out  of  this  world  unto  the  Father,  having  loved  his 
own  who  were  in  the  world,  he  loved  them  unto  the 
end.  And  supper  being  ended,  (the  devil  having  now 
put  into  the  heart  of  Judas  Iscariot,  Simon's  son,  to  be- 
tray him,)  Jesus  knowing  that  the  Father  had  given 
all  things  into  his  hands,  and  that  he  came  forth  from 
God,  and  was  going  to  God;  he  riseth  from  supper,  and 
laid  aside  his  garments,  and  took  a  towel,  and  girded 
himself.  After  that  he  poureth  water  into  a  basin,  and 
began  to  wash  the  disciples'  feet,  and  to  wipe  them 
with  the  towel  wherewith  he  was  girded.  Then  com- 
eth  he  to  Simon  Peter  :  and  Peter  said  unto  him,  Lord, 
dost  thou  wash  my  feet?  Jesus  answered  and  said 
unto  him.  What  1  do  thou  knowest  not  now;  but 
thou  shalt  know  hereafter.  Peter  saith  unto  him, 
Thou  shalt  never  wash  my  feet.  Jesus  answered  him, 
If  I  wash  thee  not,  thou  hast  no  part  with  me.  Simon 
Peter  saith  unto  him.  Lord,  not  my  feet  only,  but  also 
my  hands  and  my  head.  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  He 
that  is  washed  needeth  not  save  to  wash  his  feet,  but 
is  clean  every  whit:  and  ye  are  clean,  but  not  all. 
For  he  knew  who  should  betray  him :  therefore  said 
he,  Ye  are  not  all  clean. 

So  after  he  had  washed  their  feet,  and  had  taken  his 
garments,  and  had  sat  down  again,  he  said  unto  them. 
Know  ye  what  I  have  done  to  you  7  Ye  call  me 
Master,  and  Lord :  and  ye  say  well ;  for  so  I  am.  If  I 
then,  your  Lord  and  Master,  have  washed  your  feet; 
ye  also  ought  to  wash  one  another's  feet :  for  I  have 
given  you  an  example,  that  ye  should  do  as  I  have 
done  to  you.  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  The  ser- 
vant is  not  greater  than  his  lord;  neither  he  that  is 
sent  greater  than  he  that  sent  him.  If  ye  know  these 
things,  happy  are  ye  if  ye  do  them. 

Then  Jesus  said  unto  them,  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto 


THE  HOLY  SUPPER.  43 

you,  Except  ye  eat  the  flesh  of  the  Son  of  man,  and 
drink  his  blood,  ye  have  no  Hfe  in  you.  Whoso  eateth 
my  flesh,  and  drinketh  my  blood,  hath  eternal  life ;  and 
I  will  raise  him  up  at  the  last  day.  For  my  flesh  is 
meat  indeed,  and  my  blood  is  drink  indeed.  He  that 
eateth  my  flesh,  and  drinketh  my  blood,  dwelleth  in 
me,  and  I  in  him.  As  the  living  Father  hath  sent  me, 
and  I  live  by  the  Father ;  so  he  that  eateth  me,  even 
he  shall  live  by  me.  This  is  that  bread  which  came 
down  from  heaven :  not  as  your  fathers  did  eat  the 
manna,  and  are  dead:  he  that  eateth  of  this  bread 
shall  live  for  ever. 

Jesus  saith  to  Simon  Peter,  Simon,  son  of  Jonas, 
lovest  thou  me  more  than  these  1  He  saith  unto  him, 
Yea,  Lord  ;  thou  knowest  that  I  love  thee.  He  saith 
unto  him.  Feed  my  lambs.  He  saith  to  him  again  the 
second  time,  Simon,  son  of  Jonas,  lovest  thou  me  ?  He 
saith  unto  him.  Yea,  Lord ;  thou  knowest  that  I  love 
thee.  He  saith  unto  him.  Feed  my  sheep.  He  saith 
unto  him  the  third  time,  Simon,  son  of  Jonas,  lovest 
thou  me?  Peter  was  grieved  because  he  said  unto 
him  the  third  time,  Lovest  thou  me?  and  he  said 
unto  him.  Lord,  thou  knowest  all  things  ;  thoii  know- 
est that  I  love  thee.  Jesus  saith  unto  him.  Feed  my 
sheep.

MARRIAGE. 


[The  Minister  commences  by  giring  some  instruction  concerning  Marriage.     The 
following  may  be  used.] 

"We  are  now  assembled  for  the  purpose  of  consecrating  by 

religious  service  the  marriage  covenant  between 

and . 


Jesus  said,  He  who  made  them  at  the  beginning, 
made  them  male  and  female,  and  said,  For  this 
cause  shall  a  man  leave  father  and  mother,  and  shall 
cleave  to  his  wife ;  and  they  two  shall  be  one  flesh. 
Wherefore  they  are  no  more  twain  but  one  flesh. 
What  therefore  God  hath  joined  together,  let  not  man 
put  asunder. 

The  marriage  of  one  man  with  one  woman  is  there- 
fore designed  in  our  very  creation  by  him  who  made 
us.  The  love,  which  brings  them  together  and  binds 
them  together,  flows  into  their  minds  from  the  Divine 
Love, — from  the  love  which  has  operated  hitherto,  and 
which  now  operates,  in  creating  and  forming  a  heaven 
of  human  beings.  In  its  origin,  conjugial  love  is  the 
union  of  Divine  Love  and  Divine  Wisdom, — the  union 
of  the  Divine  and  the  Human.  In  its  operation,  it  not 
only  produces  men,  but  it  produces  every  thing  human 
in  men.  It  prepares  them  for  the  reception  of  love  and 
wisdom  from  the  Lord.  It  unites  goodness  and  truth 
in  their  minds.  It  thus  causes  them  to  acknowledge 
the  Lord  as  the  only  source  of  Love  and  Wisdom,  and 
prepares  them  to  live  in  the  celestial  marriage  union 
with  him  for  ever. 


MARRIAGE.  45 

,r^  And  since  love  truly  conjngial  is  derived  from  the 
union  of  Divine  Love  and  Divine  Wisdom,  and  since 
it  corresponds  to  and  leads  to  the  marriage  of  the  Lord 
and  the  church,  it  is  evident  that  marriage  is  a  most 
sacred  institution.  It  is  the  means  of  the  most  impor- 
tant use  in  the  divine  kingdom  of  uses.  It  is  the  reci- 
pient, the  image  and  the  fountain,  of  every  blessing  in 
earth  and  in  heaven. 

But  in  order  that  our  natural  views  and  feelings,  in 
marriage  and  concerning  marriage,  may  be  converted 
into  spiritual,  we  must  regard  it  as  a  Divine  Ordinance; 
we  must  regard  the  Lord  himself  as  present  in  it ;  and 
we  must  fulfil  its  duties  in  love  to  him,  and  in  obedience 
to  his  commandments.  And  therefore,  in  order  that 
he  may,  now  by  his  presence  and  benediction,  consecrate 
the  work  of  his  own  hands,  let  us  in  spirit  and  in  truth 
look  unto  him  for  a  blessing. 

rHien  shall  be  repeated  the  Lord's  Prayer.] 

Our  Father  who  art  in  the  heavens ;  Hallowed  be 
thy  name.  Thy  kingdom  come.  Thy  will  be  done, 
as  in  heaven,  so  also  upon  the  earth.  Give  us  this  day 
our  daily  bread.  And  forgive  us  our  debts,  as  we  also 
forgive  our  debtors.  And  lead  us  not  into  temptation ; 
but  deliver  us  from  evil.  For  thine  is  the  kingdom, 
and  the  power,  and  the  glory,  forever.     Amen. 

[Then  the  Minister,  addressing  the  man,  shall  say :] 

• ,  dost  thou  take  this  woman  to  be  thy 

wife? 

Answer: — ^I  do. 

[Then  addressing  the  woman,  he  shall  say :] 

■■ — ,  dost  thou  take  this  man  to  be  thy 

husband  7 

Answer : — I  do. 


46  MARRIAGE. 

[When  the  consent  of  the  parties  has  been  given,  the  Minister  shall  ask  them :]  ^». 

Do  you  now,  in  the  presence  of  Him  who  hath  all 
power  in  heaven  and  upon  earth,  and  in  the  presence 
of  these  witnesses,  declare  your  intention,  faithfully  to 
perform  all  your  duties  to  each  other  in  the  marriage 
covenant,  according  to  the  laws  of  God  7 

Answer  J  each : — I  do. 

[When  a  ring  is  used,  the  Minister  shall  say :] 

This  Ring  is  given  and  received,  in  token  that  ye 
are  now  Husband  and  Wife. 

[Then  the  Minister  shall  make  the  following  declaration.] 

Forasmuch  as and have 

entered  into  the  Marriage  Covenant,  and  have  mutu- 
ally promised  to  perform  their  duties  to  each  other  in 
this  relation,  I  therefore  pronounce  them  to  be  Husband 
and  Wife. 

Cnen  a  portion  of  the  Word  may  be  sung,  if  conrenient.] 

BENEDICTION. 

The  grace  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  be  with  you  all.

FUNERAL   SERVICE. 


[The  Minister  commences   by  reading  some  of  the  following  passages  from  Cie 
Word.] 

O  Jehovah  !  make  me  to  know  mine  end, 
And  the  measure  of  my  days,  what  it  is  : 
That  I  may  know  how  frail  I  am. 
Behold  !  thou  hast  made  my  days  as  an  handbreadth ; 
And  mine  age  is  as  nothing  before  thee : 
Verily  every  man  at  his  best  state  is  altogether  vanity. 
Surely  every  man  walketh  in  a  vain  show : 
Surely  they  are  disquieted  in  vain  : 
He  heapeth  up  riches,    and  knoweth  not  who  shall 
gather  them. 

Lord  !  thou  hast  been  our  dwelling  place, 
In  generation  and  generation. 
Before  the  mountains  were  brought  forth, 
Or  ever  thou  hadst  formed  the  earth  and  the  world, 
Even  from  everlasting  to  everlasting,  thou  art  God. 
Thou  turnest  man  to  destruction  ; 
And  sayest,  Return,  ye  children  of  men. 
For  a  thousand  years  in  thy  sight 
Are  but  as  yesterday  when  it  is  past. 
And  as  a  watch  in  the^^ight. 
Thou  carriest  them  away  as  with  a  flood ; 
They  are  as  a  sleep  : 

In  the  morning  they  are  like  grass  which  groweth  up. 
In  the  morning  it  flourisheth,  and  groweth  up ; 
In  the  evening  it  is  cut  down,  and  withereth. 
So  teach  us  to  number  our  days, 
That  we  may  apply  our  hearts  unto  wisdom. 


48  FUNERAL  SERVICE. 

Like  as  a  father  pitieth  his  children,  40 

So  Jehovah  pitieth  them  that  fear  him. 

For  He  knoweth  our  frame  ; 

He  remembereth  that  we  are  dust. 

As  for  man,  his  days  are  as  grass : 

As  a  flower  of  the  field,  so  he  flourisheth. 

For  the  wind  passeth  over  it,  and  it  is  gone ; 

And  the  place  thereof  shall  know  it  no  more. 

But  the  mercy  of  Jehovah  is  from  everlasting  to  ever- 
lasting upon  them  that  fear  him, 

And  his  righteousness  unto  children's  children ; 

To  such  as  keep  his  covenant. 

And  to  those  that  remember  his  commandments  to  do 
them. 

Now  that  the  dead  are  raised,  even  Moses  showed 
at  the  bush,  when  he  called  the  Lord  the  God  of  Abra- 
ham, and  the  God  of  Isaac,  and  the  God  of  Jacob. 
For  he  is  not  a  God  of  the  dead,  but  of  the  living :  for 
to  him  all  are  living, 

Jesus  said,  I  am  the  Resurrection,  and  the  Life.  He 
that  believeth  in  me,  though  he  were  dead,  yet  shall 
he  live  :  and  whosoever  liveth  and  believeth  in  me 
shall  never  die. 

And  seek  not  ye  what  ye  shall  eat,  or  what  ye  shall 
drink,  neither  be  ye  of  doubtful  mind.  For  all  these 
things  do  the  nations  of  the  world  seek  after  :  and  your 
Father  knoweth  that  ye  have  need  of  these  things. 
But  rather  seek  ye  the  kingdom  of  God  :  and  all  these 
things  shall  be  added  unto  you.  Fear  not,  little  flock ; 
for  it  is  your  Father's  good  pleasure  to  give  you  the 
kingdom.  Sell  what  ye  have,  and  give  alms  ;  provide 
yourselves  bags  which  wax  not  old,  a  treasure  in  the 
heavens  that  faileth  not,  where  no  thief  approacheth, 
neither  moth  corrupteth.  For  where  your  treasure  is, 
there  will  your  heart  be  also. 

Let  your  loins  be  girded  about,  and  your  lights  burn- 
ing ;  and  ye  yourselves  like  unto  men  that  wait  for 


FUNERAL  SERVICE.  49 

their  lord,  when  he  will  return  from  the  wedding;  that 
when  he  cometh  and  knocketh,  they  may  open  unto 
him  immediately.  Blessed  are  those  servants,  whom 
the  lord  when  he  cometh  shall  find  watching :  verily  I 
say  unto  you,  that  he  shall  gird  himself,  and  make 
them  to  sit  down  to  meat,  and  will  come  forth  and 
serve  them.  And  if  he  shall  come  in  the  second  watch, 
or  come  in  the  third  watch,  and  find  them  so,  blessed 
are  those  servants.  And  this  know,  that  if  the  mas- 
ter of  the  house  had  known  what  hour  the  thief 
would  come,  he  would  have  watched,  and  not  have 
suffered  his  house  to  be  broken  through.  Be  ye  there- 
fore ready  also :  for  the  Son  of  man  cometh  at  an  hour 
when  ye  think  not. 

Then  shall  the  kingdom  of  heaven  be  likened  unto 
ten  virgins,  who  took  their  lamps,  and  went  forth  to 
meet  the  Ijridegroom.  And  five  of  them  were  wise, 
and  five  were  foolish.  They  that  were  foolish  took 
their  lamps,  and  took  no  oil  with  them :  but  the  wise 
took  oil  in  their  vessels  with  their  lamps.  While  the 
bridegroom  tarried,  they  all  slumbered  and  slept.  And 
at  midnight  there  was  a  cry  made,  Behold,  the  bride- 
groom cometh  !  go  ye  out  to  meet  him  !  Then  all 
those  virgins  arose,  and  trimmed  their  lamps.  And 
the  foolish  said  unto  the  wise,  Give  us  of  your  oil ;  for 
our  lamps  are  gone  out.  But  the  wise  answered,  say- 
ing. Not  so ;  lest  there  be  not  enough  for  us  and  you : 
but  go  ye  rather  to  them  that  sell,  and  buy  for  your- 
selves. And  while  they  went  to  iDuy,  the  bridegroom 
came ;  and  they  that  were  ready  went  in  with  him  to 
the  marriage:  and  the  door  was  shut.  Afterward 
came  also  the  other  virgins,  saying,  Lord  !  Lord  !  open 
to  us  !  But  he  answered  and  said.  Verily  I  say  unto 
you,  I  know  you  not.  Watch  therefore,  for  ye  know 
neither  the  day  nor  the  hour  wherein  the  Son  of  man 
cometh. 

For  the  kingdom  of  heaven  is  as  a  man  travelling 
into  a  far  country,  who  called  his  own  servants,  and 
5

delivered  unto  them  his  goods.  And  unto  one  he  gave 
five  talents,  to  another  two,  and  to  another  one ;  to 
every  one  according  to  his  several  ability  ;  and 
straightway  took  his  journey.  Then  he  that  had  re- 
ceived the  five  talents  went  and  traded  with  the  same, 
and  made  other  five  talents.  And  likewise  he  that  had 
received  two,  he  also  gained  other  two.  But  he  that 
had  received  one  went  and  digged  in  the  earth,  and 
hid  his  lord's  money.  After  a  long  time  the  lord  of 
those  servants  cometh,  and  reckoneth  with  them.  And 
so  he  that  had  received  five  talents  came  and  brought 
other  five  talents,  saying,  Lord,  thou  deliveredst  unto 
me  five  talents;  behold!  I  have  gained  beside  them 
five  talents  more.  His  lord  said  unto  him.  Well  done, 
good  and  faithful  servant :  thou  hast  been  faithful  over 
a  few  things,  1  will  make  thee  ruler  over  many  things : 
enter  thou  into  the  joy  of  thy  lord  !  He  also  that  had 
received  two  talents  came  and  said,  Lord,  thou  deliver- 
edst unto  me  two  talents ;  behold  !  I  have  gained  two 
other  talents  beside  them.  His  lord  said  unto  him, 
Well  done,  good  and  faithful  servant !  thou  hast  been 
faithful  over  a  few  things,  I  will  make  thee  ruler  over 
many  things :  enter  thou  into  the  joy  of  thy  lord ! 
Then  he  who  had  received  the  one  talent  came  and 
said.  Lord,  1  knew  thee  that  thou  art  an  hard  man, 
reaping  where  thou  hast  not  sown,  and  gathering 
where  thou  hast  not  strowed :  and  f  was  afraid,  and 
went  and  hid  thy  talent  in  the  earth :  behold  thou 
hast  thine  own.  His  lord  answered  and  said  unto  him. 
Thou  wicked  and  slothful  servant !  thou  knewest  that 
I  reap  where  I  sowed  not,  and  gather  where  I  have 
not  strowed  7  Thou  oughtest  therefore  to  have  put  my 
money  to  the  exchangers  ;  and  at  my  coming  I  should 
have  received  mine  own  with  usury.  Take  therefore 
the  talent  from  him,  and  give  it  unto  him  who  hath  ten 
talents.  For  unto  every  one  that  hath  shall  be  given, 
and  he  shall  have  abundance  :  but  from  him  that  hath 
not  shall  be  taken  away  even  that  which  he  hath. 
And  cast  ye  the  unprofitable  servant  into  outer  dark- 
ness ;  there  shall  be  weeping  and  gnashing  of  teeth.

When  the  Son  of  man  shall  come  in  his  glory,  and 
all  the  holy  angels  with  him,  then  shall  he  sit  upon  the 
throne  of  his  glory ;  and  before  him  shall  be  gathered 
all  nations :  and  he  shall  separate  them  one  from  ano- 
ther, as  a  shepherd  divideth  the  sheep  from  the  goats : 
and  he  shall  set  the  sheep  on  his  right  hand,  but  the 
goats  on  the  left. 

Then  shall  the  King  say  unto  them  on  his  right 
hand,  Come,  ye  blessed  of  my  Father !  inherit  the 
kingdom  prepared  for  you  from  the  foundation  of  the 
■vrorld  :  for  I  was  hungry,  and  ye  gave  me  meat :  I  was 
thirsty,  and  ye  gave  me  drink :  I  was  a  stranger,  and 
ye  took  me  in :  naked,  and  ye  clothed  me :  I  was  sick, 
and  ye  visited  me :  I  was  in  prison,  and  ye  came  unto 
me.  Then  shall  the  righteous  answer  him,  saying. 
Lord,  when  saw  we  thee  hungr]'^,  and  fed  thee !  or 
thirsty,  and  gave  thee  drink !  When  saw  we  thee  a 
stranger,  and  took  thee  in !  or  naked,  and  clothed  thee  ! 
Or  when  saw  we  thee  sick,  or  in  prison,  and  came 
unto  thee  !  And  the  King  shall  answer  and  say  unto 
them,  "Verily  1  say  unto  you,  Inasmuch  as  ye  have 
done  it  unto  one  of  the  least  of  these  my  brethren,  ye 
have  done  it  unto  me. 

Then  shall  he  say  also  unto  them  on  the  left  hand, 
Depart  from  me,  ye  cursed  !  into  everlasting  fire,  pre- 
pared for  the  devil  and  his  angels :  for  I  was  hungry, 
and  ye  gave  me  no  meat :  I  was  thirsty,  and  ye  gave 
me  no  drink  :  I  was  a  stranger,  and  ye  took  me  not 
in:  naked,  and  ye  clothed  me  not:  sick,  and  in  prison, 
and  ye  visited  me  not.  Then  shall  they  also  answer 
him,  saying.  Lord,  when  saw  we  thee  hungry,  or 
thirsty,  or  a  stranger,  or  naked,  or  sick,  or  in  prison, 
and  did  not  minister  unto  thee !  Then  shall  he  an- 
swer them,  saying.  Verily  I  say  unto  you.  Inasmuch  as 
ye  did  it  not  to  one  of  the  least  of  these,  ye  did  it  not 
to  me.  And  these  shall  go  away  into  everlasting  pu- 
nishment :  but  the  righteous  into  life  eternal. 

Why  seek  ye  the  living  among  the  dead?  He  is  not 
here,  but  is  risen. 


52  FUNERAL  SERVICE, 

And  I  heard  a  voice  from  heaven  saying  unto  me, 
Write,  Blessed  are  the  dead  who  die  in  the  Lord  from 
henceforth  !  Yea,  saith  the  Spirit,  that  they  may  rest 
from  their  labors ;  and  their  works  do  follow  with 
them. 

He  that  is  unjust,  let  him  be  unjust  still:  and  he 
that  is  filthy,  let  him  be  filthy  still :  and  he  that  is 
righteous,  let  him  be  righteous  still :  and  he  that  is 
holy,  let  him  be  holy  still.  And,  behold!  I  come 
quickly ;  and  my  reward  is  with  me,  to  give  every  one 
according  as  his  works  shall  be.  I  am  Alpha  and 
Omega,  the  Beginning  and  the  End,  the  First  and  the 
Last.  Blessed  are  they  that  do  his  commandments ! 
that  they  may  have  right  to  the  tree  of  life  and  may 
enter  in  through  the  gates  into  the  city.  For  without 
are  dogs,  and  sorcerers,  and  whoremongers,  and  mur- 
derers, and  idolaters,  and  whosoever  loveth  and  doeth 
a  lie. 


[Then  the  Minister  shall  give  some  instruction  suitable  to  the  occasion.    The  following 
may  be  used.] 

We  are  now  assembled   to  perform  our  last  earthly  duties 

to  a  departed *.     We  are  about  to  consign  1  body 

to  the  tomb,  whilst 1  soul  is  ascending  into  the  world  of 

spirits. 

To  our  natural  feelings  the  duty  is  a  sad  and  mournful  one  ; 

because   our  natural   connection  with  1  has  come  to  an 

end.  We  can  no  longer  see  or  hear 1 ;  for  with  our  na- 
tural senses  we  can  perceive  nothing  but  what  is  natural. 
Therefore,  to  our  natural  views  and  our  natural  feelings, 
there  appears  to  be  a  total  separation.  And  consequently, 
while  we  permit  our  natural  feelings  to  prevail  in  us,  we  shall 
mourn. 

But  in  the  doctrines  of  the  New  Jerusalem  we  are  taught, 
that  this  apparent  separation  is  not  a  real  separation  ;  that  our 
friends  continue  to  live ;  and  that  they  remain  as  near  unto 
us  spiritually,  as  they  were  before. 

These  doctrines  teach  us  that  nothing  but  the  body  of  man 

•  Brother  or  sister.  t  His  ot  her.  t  Him  w  her 


FUNERAL  SERVICE.  53 

dies  ;  that  nothing  but  his  body  is  buried  in  the  grave.  They 
teach  us  that  his  spirit,  when  divested  of  its  natural  covering, 
continues  to  live ;  that  when  he  casts  off  the  natural  body,  he 
rises  in  a  spiritual  body  ;  that  he  continues  to  exist  in  the 
human  form  ;  that  he  is  in  every  respect  more  perfectly  human 
than  he  was  before ;  that  his  prevpiiling  character  remains  the 
same  ;  that  his  ruling  affections  and  thoughts  remain  the  same  ; 
and  consequently,  that  he  continues  to  be  as  properly  an  object 
of  affection,  as  he  was  when  present  to  our  senses. 

From  the  doctrines  of  the  New  Jerusalem  we  learn,  that  all 
the  inhabitants  of  the  spiritual  world  are  arranged  in  societies 
according  to  their  characters;  that  similarity  of  character 
draws  them  together,  and  that  dissimilarity  separates  them : 
that  all  those  who  act  from  love  to  the  Lord  and  the  neighbor, 
are  in  the  heavens ;  and  that  all  those  who  act  from  the  love 
of  self  and  the  world  are  in  the  hells  :  that  in  the  heavens 
there  are  various  kinds  of  good  aflections ;  and  in  the  hells, 
various  kinds  of  evil  affections  :  and  that  those  who  have  simi- 
lar affections,  and  who  are  thus  qualified  to  live  together  and 
act  together,  are  drawn  into  the  same  society. 

From  these  doctrines  we  learn,  that  all  of  us,  who  are  in 
the  natural  world,  are  internally  and  spiritually  associated 
either  with  good  or  evil  spirits,  who  are  similar  to  ourselves: 
that  if  we  act  from  good  affections,  we  are  internally  associated 
with,  and  act  with,  good  spirits ;  and  that  if  we  act  from  evil 
affections,  we  are  internally  associated  with  evil  spirits,  and 
act  with  them  :  also,  that  we  can  come  out  of  an  evil  society 
into  a  good  one,  by  resisting  our  evil  affections,  and  cherishing 
those  which  are  good  ;  and  that  we  go  out  of  a  good  society 
into  an  evil  one,  when  we  resist  the  good,  and  cherish  the 
evil. 

We  learn  that  when  a  person  dies,  he  comes  into  manifest 
association  with  the  spirits  that  he  was  before  internally 
and  secretly  associated  with ;  that  for  this  purpose  he  is  di- 
vested of  every  thing  which  is  not  in  agreement  with  his 
ruling  affections.  If  his  internal  and  ruling  affections  are 
good,  he  is  cleansed  from  all  external  impurities  ;  but  if  they 
are  evil,  he  is  divested  of  all  the  external  appearances  of  good- 
ness, which  would  enable  him  to  deceive. 

We  learn  that  when  a  person  dies  he  comes  into  the  spiri- 
tual world ;  which  is  adapted  to  his  spiritual  body,  as  the  na- 
tural world  is  adapted  to  the  natural  body:  that  there  is  a 
correspondence  between  the  spiritual  world  and  the  natural 
5* 


54  FUNERAL  SERVICE. 

world  ;  between  the  spiritual  body  and  the  natural  body ;  be. 
tween  the  spiritual  senses  and  the  natural  senses ;  and  between 
spiritual  employments  and  natural  employments :  and  that  as 
he  then  has  a  body,  which  is  adapted  to  the  world  in  Avhich 
he  lives,  and  to  the  uses  which  he  has  to  perform,  therefore 
his  material  body  will  never  be  resumed. 

We  learn  that  if  we  are  internally  and  spiritually  united  to 
any  person  while  here,  the  union  is  not  severed  by  death : 
that,  although  he  is  then  invisible  to  us,  and  we  are  invisible 
to  him,  yet  his  influence  still  continues  to  operate  upon  us, 
and  that  our  influence  continues  to  operate  upon  him  :  that 
we  are  still  spiritually  near  together :  that  his  affection  for  us 
still  contributes  to  our  happiness,  and  that  our  affection  for 
him  still  contributes  to  his  happiness.  We  thus  learn  not  to 
mourn  at  the  death  of  our  friends,  as  if  they  had  ceased  to 
exist,  nor  as  if  they  had  ceased  to  be  what  they  were,  nor  as 
if  we  were  entirely  separated  from  them:  but  at  the  same  time, 
we  learn  to  mourn  on  account  of  those  habits  of  thinking  and 
feeling  which  bind  our  spirits  to  the  earth,  and  make  us  un- 
mindful of  the  world  to  which  our  friends  have  gone,  and  to 
which  we  are  going.  We  learn  to  mourn,  not  because  our 
friends  are  dead,  but  because  we  ourselves  have  so  little  of 
spiritual  life. 

With  regard  to  those  who  die  in  infancy  and  childhood,  we 
learn  from  the  doctrines  of  the  New  Church,  that  they  are, 
through  the  mercy  of  the  Lord,  all  of  them  saved.  For  until 
a  man  arrives  at  maturity,  he  does  not  become  confirmed  in 
his  opposition  to  the  government  and  laws  of  God,  nor  fixed 
in  the  determination  and  habit  of  acting  according  to  the  dic- 
tates of  his  own  will  and  understanding.  We  learn  that 
those,  who  leave  this  world  during  infancy,  enter  the  spiritual 
world  as  infants;  and  that  those, who  leave  here  in  childhood, 
enter  that  world  as  children  :  that  as  soon  as  they  leave  the 
material  body,  and  are  thus  born  into  the  spiritual  world,  the 
angels  receive  them  with  the  greatest  joy,  watch  over  them 
with  the  tenderest  affection,  and  instruct  them  step  after  step 
in  the  wisdom  of  heavenly  life,  until  they  grow  to  maturity ; 
until  they  are  prepared  to  engage  in  angelic  employments, 
and  do  themselves  become  angels. 

Under  the  light  of  the  New  Jerusalem,  the  terrors  of  death 
are  not  destroyed,  but  they  are  converted  into  instructers.  In 
the  minds  of  those  who  see  by  this  light,  the  idea  of  death  is 
transformed  into  that  of  resurrection.     Thev  do  not  think 


FUNERAL  SERVICE.  55 

about  the  end  of  temporal  existence,  but  about  the  com- 
mencement of  eternal  existence.  Instead  of  the  darknesa 
of  the  grave,  they  think  about  the  light  of  the  spiritual  world  : 
for  the  light  of  the  New  Jerusalem  is  heavenly  light :  it  is  the 
light  by  which  angels  see  :  and  when  we  are  in  it,  we  cannot 
think  about  the  cold  inanimate  body,  which  is  left  in  the  tomb ; 
but  about  the  living  man,  who  is  rising  into  the  spiritual 
world.  We  cannot  sympathize  with  the  matter  which  is  cast 
off,  but  with  the  spirit  which  is  delivered  from  it.  We  do 
not,  in  our  thoughts,  go  through  the  gloom  of  funereal  cere- 
monies to  the  gates  of  darkness  and  oblivion ;  but  we  rise,  as 
he  rises ;  we  leave  these  things  behind  us ;  and  in  our  affec- 
tions and  thoughts  go  with  him  into  the  abodes  of  eternal  life 
and  heavenly  joy. 

When  we  are  under  the  light  of  the  New  Jerusalem,  we 
see  in  death  an  image  representing  the  regeneration  of  man. 
As  death  is  the  passage  from  the  natural  world  into  the  spiri- 
tual, so  regeneration  is  the  change  from  a  natural  to  a  spiritual 
state  of  mind.  While  we  are  suffering  ourselves  to  be  rege- 
nerated, all  our  corporeal  and  worldly  views  and  feelings  are 
brought  into  subjection.  In  following  the  Lord,  we  are 
obliged  to  forsake  our  houses  and  lands,  our  brethren  and 
sisters,  our  father  and  mother,  our  wife  and  children,  for  his 
sake.  From  love  to  him,  we  are  to  renounce  our  natural 
selfish  affections  for  our  relatives  and  property.  And  when 
we  have  thus  put  away  our  natural  affections,  we  shall  be 
prepared  to  have  spiritual  ones ;  and  shall  thus  receive  an 
hundred  fold.  We  thus  pass  from  a  worldly  into  a  heavenly 
state  of  mind.  We  then  look  down  upon  the  world  as  they 
do  who  have  left  it.  We  look  upon  it  only  in  relation  to  its 
spiritual  design  and  uses.  We  regard  it  and  we  value  it, 
only  as  a  place  of  preparation  for  heaven. 

At  death  we  also  leave  a  world  from  which  the  Lord  is  ap- 
parently absent,  and  come  into  one  where  he  is  manifestly 
present.  So  when  we  suffer  ouselves  to  be  regenerated,  we 
pass  out  of  a  state  of  mind  from  which  the  Lord  is  apparently 
absent,  into  one  in  which  he  is  constantly  present :  out  of  a 
state  in  which  we  imagine  that  we  have  power  of  ourselves  to 
will,  to  think  and  to  act,  into  one  in  which  we  perceive  and 
acknowledge  that  without  him  we  can  do  nothing.  We  come 
into  this  state,  by  following  him,  and  putting  ourselves  under 
his  government :  by  denying  ourselves,  and  learning  to  ac- 
knowledge him.     For  he  is  as  really  present  with  us  while 


56  FUNERAL  SERVICE. 

we  are  in  this  world,  as  he  will  be  when  we  go  into  the  spiri- 
tual world.  It  is  because  our  afl'ections  and  thoughts  are  far 
from  him,  that  he  appears  to  be  far  from  us.  It  is  our  self- 
love  and  self-confidence,  that  prevents  us  from  perceiving  his 
presence,  and  feeling  his  influence.  These  things  must  there- 
fore be  overcome ;  they  must  die  in  us,  before  our  minds  can 
be  opened  to  receive  him. 

Jesus  saith.  He  that  hath  my  commandments  and  keepeth 
them,  he  it  is  that  loveth  me  ;  and  he  that  loveth  me  *ihall  be 
loved  of  my  Father;  and  I  will  love  him,  and  will  manifest 
myself  to  him. 

He  that  loveth  father  or  mother  more  than  me,  is  not  worthy 
of  me :  and  he  that  loveth  son  or  daughter  more  than  me,  is 
not  worthy  of  me  :  and  he  that  taketh  not  his  cross  and  fol- 
loweth  after  me,  is  not  w^orthy  of  me.  He,  that  findeth  his 
life,  shall  lose  it ;  and  he  that  loseth  his  life  for  my  sake, 
shall  find  it. 

[Tnen  shall  be  repealed  the  Lord's  Prayer.) 

Our  Father,  who  art  in  the  heavens ;  Hallowed  be 
thy  name.  Thy  kingdom  come.  Thy  will  be  done, 
as  in  heaven,  so  also  upon  the  earth.  Give  us  this  day 
our  daily  bread.  And  forgive  us  our  debts,  as  we  also 
forgive  our  debtors.  And  lead  us  not  into  temptation; 
but  deliver  us  from  evil.  For  thine  is  the  kingdom, 
and  the  power,  and  the  glory,  forever.     Amen. 

[Then  a  portion  of  the  Word  may  be  sung,  if  convenient.  1 

benediction: 

The  grace  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  be  with  you  all. 

Amen. 


ARTICLES   OF   FAITH, 

Of  the  New  Church  signified  by  the  New  Jerusalem  in 
the  Revelation. 


[To  be  read,  when  deemed  proper,  after  the  Second  Portion  from  the  "Word  in  Public 
Worship;  or  on  other  occasions :  the  people  sitting.] 

1.  That  Jehovah  God,  the  Creator  and  Preserver  of  hea- 
ven and  earth,  is  Love  Itself  and  Wisdom  Itself,  or  Good  It- 
self and  Truth  Itself:  That  he  is  One  both  in  Essence  and  in 
Person,  in  whom,  nevertheless,  is  the  Divine  Trinity  of  Father, 
Son,  and  Holy  Spirit,  which  are  the  Essential  Divinity,  the 
Divine  Humanity,  and  the  Divine  Proceeding,  answering  to 
the  soul,  the  body,  and  the  operative  energy  in  man :  And 
that  the  Lord  and  Savior  Jesus  Christ  is  that  God. 

2.  That  Jehovah  God  himself  descended  from  heaven,  as 
Divine  Truth,  which  is  the  Word,  and  took  upon  him  Human 
Nature  for  the  purpose  of  removing  from  man  the  poAvers  of 
hell,  and  restoring  to  order  all  things  in  the  spiritual  Avorld, 
and  all  things  in  the  church  :  That  he  removed  from  man  the 
powers  of  hell,  by  combats  against  and  victories  over  them  ;  in 
which  consisted  the  great  work  of  Redemption  :  That  by  the 
same  acts,  which  were  his  temptations,  the  last  of  Avhich  was 
the  passion  of  the  cross,  he  united,  in  his  Humanity,  Divine 
Truth  to  Divine  Good,  or  Divine  Wisdom  to  Divine  Love, 
and  so  returned  into  his  Divinity  in  which  he  was  from  eter- 
nity, together  with,  and  in,  his  Glorified  Humanity ;  whence 
he  for  ever  keeps  the  infernal  powers  in  subjection  to  himself: 
And  that  all  who  believe  in  him,  with  the  understanding,  from 
the  heart,  and  li^^e  accordingly,  will  be  saved. 

3.  That  the  Sacred  Scripture,  or  Word  of  God,  is  Divine 
Truth  Itself;  containing  a  Spiritual  Sense  heretofore  un- 
known, whence  it  is  divinely  inspired  and  holy  in  every  syl- 


58  ARTICLES  OP  PAITH. 

lable ;  as  well  as  a  Literal  Sense,  which  is  the  basis  of  its 
Spiritual  Sense,  and  in  which  Divine  Truth  is  in  its  fulness,  its 
sanctity,  and  its  power :  thus  that  it  is  accommodated  to  the 
apprehension  both  of  angels  and  men :  That  the  spiritual  and 
natural  senses  are  united,  by  correspondences,  like  soul  and 
body,  every  natural  expression  and  image  answering  to,  and 
including,  a  spiritual  and  divine  idea :  And  thus  that  the 
Word  is  the  medium  of  communication  with  heaven,  and  of 
conjunction  with  the  Lord. 

4.  That  the  government  of  the  Lord's  Divine  Love  and 
Wisdom  is  the  Divine  Providence ;  which  is  universal,  exer- 
cised according  to  certain  fixed  laws  of  Order,  and  extending 
to  the  minutest  particulars  of  the  life  of  all  men,  both  of  the 
good  and  of  the  evil :  That  in  all  its  operations  it  has  respect 
to  what  is  infinite  and  eternal,  and  makes  no  account  of  things 
transitory  but  as  they  are  subservient  to  eternal  ends ;  thus, 
that  it  mainly  consists,  with  man,  in  the  connection  of  things 
temporal  with  things  eternal ;  for  that  the  continual  aim  of  the 
Lord,  by  his  Divine  Providence,  is  to  join  man  to  himself  and 
himself  to  man,  that  he  may  be  able  to  give  him  the  felicities 
of  eternal  life:  And  that  the  laws  of  permission  are  also  laws 
of  the  Divine  Providence ;  since  evil  cannot  be  prevented 
without  destroying  the  nature  of  man  as  an  accountable  agent; 
and  because,  also,  it  cannot  be  removed  unless  it  be  known, 
and  cannot  be  known  unless  it  appear:  Thus,  that  no  evil 
is  permitted  but  to  prevent  a  greater ;  and  all  is  overruled,  by 
the  Lord's  Divine  Providence,  for  the  greatest  possible  good. 

5.  That  man  is  not  life,  but  is  only  a  recipient  of  life  from 
tlie  Lord,  who,  as  he  is  Love  Itself  and  Wisdom  Itself,  is  also 
Life  Itself;  which  life  is  communicated  by  influx  to  all  in  the 
spiritual  world,  whether  belonging  to  heaven  or  to  hell,  and 
to  all  in  the  natural  world  ;  but  is  received  difltrently  by 
every  one,  according  to  his  qu-ili*y  and  consequent  state  of  re- 
ception. 

6.  That  man,  during  his  abode  in  the  world,  is,  as  to  his 
spirit,  in  the  midst  between  heaven  and  hell,  acted  upon  by 
influences  from  both,  and  thus  is  kept  in  a  state  of  spiritual 
equilibrium  between  good  and  evil  ;  in  consequence  of  which 
ha  enjoys  free-will,  or  freedom  of  choice,  in  spiritual  things 
as  well  as  in  natural,  and  possesses  the  capacity  of  either 
turning  himself  to  the  Lord  and  his  kingdom,  or  turning  him- 
self away  from  the  Lord,  and  connecting  himself  with  the 
kingdom  of  darkness  :  And  that,  unless  man  had  such  free- 


ARTICLES  OF  FAITH.  59 

dom  of  choice,  the  Word  would  be  of  no  use,  the  Church 
would  be  a  mere  name,  man  would  possess  nothing  by  virtue 
of  which  he  could  be  conjoined  to  the  Lord,  and  the  cause  of 
evil  would  be  chargeable  on  God  himself. 

7.  That  man  at  this  day  is  born  into  evil  of  all  kinds,  or 
with  tendencies  towards  it :  That,  therefore,  in  order  to  his 
entering  the  kingdom  of  heaven,  he  must  be  regenerated  or 
created  anew;  which  great  work  is  effected  in  a  progressive 
manner,  by  the  Lord  alone,  by  charity  and  faith  as  mediums, 
during  man's  co-operation :  That  as  all  men  are  redeemed, 
all  are  capable  of  being  regenerated,  and  consequently  saved, 
everyone  according  to  his  state:  And  that  the  regenerate 
man  is  in  communion  with  the  angels  of  heaven,  and  the  un- 
regenerate  with  the  spirits  of  hell:  But  that  no  one  is  con- 
demned for  hereditary  evil,  any  further  than  as  he  makes  it 
his  own  by  actual  life  ;  whence  all  who  die  in  infancy  are 
saved,  special  means  being  provided  by  the  Lord  in  the  other 
life  for  that  purpose. 

8.  That  Repentance  is  the  first  beginning  of  the  Church  in 
man  ;  and  that  it  consists  in  a  man's  examining  himself,  both 
in  regard  to  his  deeds  and  his  intentions,  in  knowing  and  ac- 
knowledging his  sins,  confessing  them  before  the  Lord,  sup- 
plicating him  for  aid,  and  beginning  a  new  life  :  That  to  this 
end,  all  evils,  whether  of  affection,  of  thought,  or  of  life,  are 
to  be  abhorred  and  shunned  as  sins  against  God,  and  because 
they  proceed  from  infernal  spirits,  who  in  the  aggregate  are 
called  the  Devil  and  Satan  ;  and  that  good  affections,  good 
thoughts,  and  good  actions,  are  to  be  cherished  and  performed, 
because  they  are  of  God  and  from  God  :  That  these  things 
are  to  be  done  by  man  as  of  himself;  nevertheless,  under  the 
acknowledgment  and  belief,  that  it  is  from  the  Lord,  operat- 
ing in  him  and  by  him :  That  so  far  as  man  shuns  evils  as 
sins,  so  far  they  are  removed,  remitted,  or  forgiven  ;  so  far 
also  he  does  good,  not  from  himself,  but  from  the  Lord ;  and 
in  the  same  degree  he  loves  truth,  has  faith,  and  is  a  spiritual 
man :  And  that  the  Decalogue  teaches  what  evils  are  sins. 

9.  That  Charity,  Faith,  and  Good  Works,  are  unitedly  ne- 
cessary to  man's  salvation ;  since  charity,  without  faith,  is 
not  spiritual,  but  natural ;  and  faith,  without  charity,  is  not 
living,  but  dead  ;  and  both  charity  and  faith,  without  good 
works, are  merely  mental  and  perishable  things,  because  with- 
out use  or  fixedness  :  And  that  nothing  of  faith,  of  charity,  or 


60  ARTICLES  OF  FAITH. 

of  good  works,  is  of  man;  but  that  all  is  of  the  Lord,  and  all 
the  merit  is  his  alone. 

10.  That  Baptism  and  the  Holy  Supper  are  sacraments  of 
divine  institution,  and  are  to  be  permanently  observed  ;  Bap- 
tism being  an  external  medium  of  introduction  into  the 
Church,  and  a  sign  representative  of  man's  purification  and 
regeneration ;  and  the  Holy  Supper  being  an  external  medium, 
to  those  who  receive  it  worthily,  of  introduction,  as  to  spirit, 
into  heaven,  and  of  conjunction  with  the  Lord  ;  of  which  also 
it  is  a  sign  and  seal. 

11.  That  immediately  after  death,  which  is  only  a  putting 
off  of  the  material  body,  never  to  be  resumed,  man  rises  again 
in  a  spiritual  or  substantial  body,  in  which  he  continues  to 
live  to  eternity ;  in  heaven,  if  his  ruling  affections,  and  thence 
his  life,  have  been  good  ;  and  in  hell,  if  his  ruling  affections, 
and  thence  his  life,  have  been  e\'il. 

12.  That  Now  is  the  time  of  the  Second  Advent  of  the 
Lord,  which  is  a  Coming,  not  in  Person,  but  in  the  power  and 
glory  of  his  Holy  Word :  That  it  is  attended,  like  his  first 
Coming,  with  the  restoration  to  order  of  all  things  in  the  spi- 
ritual world,  where  the  wonderful  divine  operation,  commonly 
expected  under  the  name  of  the  Last  Judgment,  has  in  conse- 
quence been  performed  ;  and  with  the  preparing  of  the  way  for 
a  New  Church  on  the  earth, — the  first  Christian  Church  hav- 
ing spiritually  come  to  its  end  or  consummation,  through  evils 
of  life  and  errors  of  doctrine,  as  foretold  by  the  Lord  in  the 
Gospels  :  And  that  this  New  or  Second  Christian  Church, 
which  will  be  the  Crown  of  all  Churches,  and  will  stand  for 
ever,  is  what  was  representatively  seen  by  John,  when  he  be- 
held the  holy  city.  New  Jerusalem,  descending  from  God  out 
of  heaven,  prepared  as  a  bride  adorned  for  her  husband.

O  Jehovah,  our  Lord,  how  excellent  is  thy  name  in  |  all 

the  earth  ! 
Who  hast  set  thy  |  glory  above  the  heavens. 
Out  of  the  mouth  of  babes  and  sucklings  hast  thou  ordained 

strength  be[cause  of  thine  enemies. 
To  put  to  silence  the  |  enemy  and  the  avenger. 
When  I  behold  thy  heavens,  the  |  work  of  thy  fingers. 
The  moon  and  the  |  stars  which  thou  hast  ordained ; 
What  is  man,  that  thou  art  |  mindful  of  him  ? 
And  the  son  of  |  man,  that  thou  visitest  him? 
For  thou  madest  him  a  little  lower  |  than  the  angels, 
And  hast  crowned  |  him  with  glory  and  honor. 
Thou  hast  made  him  to  rule  over  the  |  works  of  thy  hands ; 
Thou  hast  put  |  all  things  under  his  feet : 
Flocks  and  oxen  |  all  of  them, 
And  I  also  the  beasts  of  the  field  : 

8.  Birds  of  the  heavens,  and  fishes  |  of  the  sea, 

And  whatever  passeth  |  through  the  paths  of  the  seas.

[Ps.  ciii.  8.] 


Bless  Jehovah,  |  O  my  soul ; 

And  all  that  is  within  me,  |  bless  his  holy  name. 

Jehovah  is  |  merciful  and  gracious, 

Slow  to  I  anger,  and  great  of  mercy. 

He  will  not  |  always  chide  ; 

Neither  will  he  ]  keep  his  anger  forever. 

He  hath  not  dealt  with  us  |  after  our  sins ; 

Nor  rewarded  us  ac|cording  to  our  iniquities. 

For  as  the  heavens  are  high  ajbove  the  earth, 

So  great  is  his  |  mercy  toward  them  that  fear  him. 

As  far  as  is  the  |  east  from  the  west. 

So  far  hath  he  rejmoved  our  transgressions  from  us.

So  Jehovah  |  pitieth  them  that  fear  him. 

2.  For  he  |  knoweth  our  frame ; 

He  relmembereth  that  we  are  dust. 

3.  As  for  man,  his  |  days  are  as  grass: 

As  a  flower  of  the  ]  field,  so  he  doth  flourish. 

4.  For  the  wind  passeth  over  it,  and  |  it  is  not ; 
And  the  place  there]of  shall  know  it  no  more. 

5.  But  the  mercy  of  Jehovah  is  from  everlasting  to  everlasting 

upon  1  them  that  fear  him, 
And  his  righteousness  |  unto  children's  children; 

6.  To  such  as  ]  keep  his  covenant, 

And  to  those  that  remember  I  his  commandments  to  do  them.

In  the  net  which  they  |  hid  is  their  own  foot  taken. 

2.  Jehovah  is  known  by  the  |  judgment  he  executeth  : 
The  wicked  is  snared  in  the  |  work  of  his  own  hands. 

3.  The  wicked  shall  be  |  turned  into  hell, 
And  all  the  ]  nations  that  forget  God. 

4.  For  the  needy  shall  not  alway  |  be  forgotten  : 

The  expectation  of  the  |  poor  shall  not  perish  for  ever. 

5.  Arise,  O  Jehovah  !  let  not  I  man  prevail  : 
Let  the  I  heathen  be  judged  in  thy  sight.

He  hath  said  in  his  heart,  |  Thou  wilt  not  require  it.

I 


Remember,  O  Jehovah  !  what  is  |  come  upon  us : 

Consider,  and  be|hold  our  reproach. 

Our  inheritance  is  |  turned  to  strangers, 

Our  I  houses  to  aliens. 

We  are  |  orphans  and  fatherless, 

Our  mothers  |  are  as  widows. 

4.  We  have  drunken  our  |  water  for  money; 
Our  wood  is  )  sold  unto  us. 

5.  Our  necks  are  under  |  persecution :

6.  We  have  given  the  hand  |  to  the  Egyptians, 
To  the  Assyrians,  to  be  |  satisfied  with  bread. 

7.  Our  fathers  have  [  sinned,  and  are  not; 
And  we  have  |  borne  their  iniquities. 
Servants  have  |  ruled  over  us : 
There  is  none  that  doth  deliver  |  out  of  their  hand. 


SELECTION  310. 

Behold !  Jehovah's  |  hand  is  not  shortened, 

That  it  I  cannot  save  ; 

Neither  [  his  ear  heavy, 

That  it  I  cannot  hear : 

But  your  in|tquities  have  separated 

Between  |  you  and  your  God, 

And  your  sins  have  hid  his  [  face  from  you. 

That  he  I  will  not  hear.

And  there  were  in  the  same  country  shepherds  abiding 
in  the  field,  and  keeping  watch  over  their  flock  by  night. 
And  lo  !  an  angel  of  the  Lord  came  upon  them,  and  the  glo- 
ry of  the  Lord  shone  around  them  ;  and  they  feared  with 
great  fear.  And  the  angel  said  unto  them,  Fear  not :  for, 
behold  !  I  bring  you  good  tidipgs  of  great  joy,  which  shall 
be  to  all  the  people.  For  to  you,  in  the  city  of  David,  is 
born  this  day  a  Savior,  who  is  Christ  the  Lord.  And  this 
is  a  sign  to  you  :  ye  shall  find  a  babe  wrapped  in  swaddling 
clothes,  lying  in  a  manger.  And  suddenly  there  was  with 
the  angel  a  multitude  of  the  heavenly  host,  praising  God, 
and  saying,  Glory  to  God  in  the  highest;  and  on  earth 
peace ;  among  men  good  will.

Break  forth  into  singing,  O  mountains  ! 

Jehovah  hath  comforted  his  people  ; 

He  will  have  mercy  on  his  afflicted. 

But  Zion  said,  Jehovah  hath  forsaken  me, 

And  my  Lord  hath  forgotten  me. 

Behold  !  I  have  graven  thee  upon  the  palms  of  my  hands ; 

Thy  walls  are  continually  before  me.

O  Jehovah  !  who  shall  dwell  in  thy  tabernacle  ? 

Or  who  shall  rest  upon  thy  holy  hill  ? 

Even  he  that  leadeth  an  uncorrupt  life, 

And  speaketh  the  truth  in  his  heart : 

That  slandereth  not  with  his  tongue. 

Nor  doeth  evil  to  his  neighbor, 

Nor  bringeth  reproach  upon  his  friend. 

In  whose  eyes  the  vile  is  contemned  : 

But  he  honoreth  them  that  fear  Jehovah. 

He  that  sweareth  to  his  own  hurt,  and  changeth  not. 

He  that  putteth  not  out  his  money  to  usury. 

Nor  taketh  reward  against  the  innocent. 

Whoso  doth  these  things  shall  never  fall.

Glorification  10. 
Holy,  holy,  holy,  Jehovah  of  Hosts. 

I  saw  the  Lord  sitting  upon  a  throne  high  and  lifted  up, 
and  his  train  filled  the  temple.  Above  it  stood  the  Sera- 
phim: each  one  had  six  wings  ;  with  twain  he  covered  his 
face,  and  with  twain  he  covered  his  feet,  and  with  twain  he 
did  fly.     And  one  cried  unto  another,  and  said. 

Holy !  holy  !  holy  !  Jehovah  of  Hosts  : 

All  the  earth  is  full  of  his  glory. 

And  the  posts  of  the  door  moved  at  the  voice  of  him  that 
cried,  and  the  house  was  filled  with  smoke. 


Holy,    holy,       holy,  Jehovah  of  Hosts.  All  the  earth  is  fall  of  hia

Glorification  11.     For  Thou,  O  Jehovah. 

I  will  mention  the  loving  kindness  of  Jehovah; 

And  the  praises  of  Jehovah, 

And  his  great  goodness  towards  the  house  of  Israel, 

Which  he  hath  bestowed  upon  them  according  to  his 

mercies, 
For  the  Angel  of  his  presence  saved  them. 
In  his  love  and  in  his  pity  he  redeemed  them : 
And  he  bare  them,  and  carried  them,  all  the  days  of  old. 
For  Thou,  O  Jehovah,  art  our  Father  ! 
Our  Redeemer!  thy  name  is  from  everlasting.

His  Dominion. 

I  saw  in  the  night  visions,  and,  behold !  one  like  the  Son 
of  man  came  with  the  clouds  of  heaven,  and  came  to  the 
Ancient  of  Days,  and  they  brought  him  near  before  him. 
And  there  was  given  him  dominion,  and  glory,  and  a  king- 
dom ;  that  all  people,  nations,  and  languages  should  serve 
him.  His  dominion  is  an  everlasting  dominion,  which  shall 
not  pass  away ;  and  his  kingdom  that  which  shall  not  be 
destroyed.

Glokification  13. 

Lord,  what  love  have  I  unto  thy  Law ; 

All  the  day  long  is  my  study  in  it. 

The  Law  of  thy  mouth  is  dearer  unto  me, 

Than  thousands  of  gold  and  silver. 

O,  how  sweet  are  thy  words  unto  my  taste  : 

Yea,  sweeter  than  honey  unto  my  mouth. 

Thy  righteousness  is  an  everlasting  righteousness, 

And  thy  law  is  the  truth. 

Trouble  and  heaviness  have  taken  hold  upon  me  ; 

Yet  is  my  delight  in  thy  commandments. 

The  righteousness  of  thy  testimonies  is  everlasting 

Make  me  to  understand,  and  I  shall  live.

and  power,  to  the  Lord  our  God  ;  for  true  and  righteous 
are  his  judgments.  And  again  they  said,  Alleluia!  And 
the  four  and  twenty  elders  and  the  four  animals  fell  down 
and  worshipped  God  that  sat  on  the  throne,  saying,  Amen! 
Alleluia !  And  a  voice  came  out  of  the  throne,  saying, 
Praise  our  God,  all  ye  his  servants,  and  ye  that  fear  him, 
both  small  and  great.

Hear  my  prayer,  0  God  ! 

And  hide  not  thyself  from  my  petition. 

Take  heed  unto  me,  and  hear  me: 

How  I  mourn  in  my  prayer,  and  am  troubled. 

My  heart  is  disquieted  within  me  ; 

And  the  fear  of  death  is  fallen  upon  me. 

Fearfulness  and  trembling  are  come  upon  me; 

And  horror  hath  overwhelmed  me. 

Then  I  said,  O  that  I  had  wings,  like  a  dove ! 

Then  would  I  fly  away,  and  be  at  rest.

O  Jehovah,  our  Lord. 

O  Jehovah,  our  Lord, 

How  excellent  is  thy  name  in  all  the  earth ! 
Who  hast  set  thy  glory  above  the  heavens. 
Out  of  the  mouth  of  babes  and  sucklings 
Hast  thou  ordained  strength, 
Because  of  thine  enemies, 
To  put  to  silence  the  enemy  and  the  avenger. 
When  I  behold  thy  heavens,  the  work  of  thy  fingers, 
The  moon  and  the  stars  which  thou  hast  ordained ; 
What  is  man,  that  thou  art  mindful  of  him  ? 
And  the  son  of  man,  that  thou  visitest  him  ? 
For  thou  madest  him  a  little  lower  than  the  angels, 
And  hast  crowned  him  with  glory  and  honor. 
Thou  hast  made  him  to  rule  over  the  works  of  thy  hands; 
Thou  hast  put  all  things  under  his  feet : 
Flocks  and  oxen  all  of  them, 
And  also  the  beasts  of  the  field  : 
Birds  of  the  heavens,  and  fishes  of  the  sea, 
And  whatever  passeth  through  the  paths  of  the  seas. 
O  JsHovAH,  our  Lord, 

How  excellent  is  thy  name  in  all  the  earth  !

He  loveth  Righteottsness. 

Rejoice  in  Jehovah,  O  ye  righteous  : 

Praise  is  comely  for  the  upright. 

Praise  Jehovah  with  harp  : 

Sing  to  Him  with  the  psaltery  often  strings. 

Sing  unto  Him  a  new  song  : 

Play  skilfully  with  a  loud  noise. 

For  the  word  of  Jehovah  is  right ; 

And  all  His  works  are  done  in  truth. 

He  loveth  righteousness  and  judgment : 

The  earth  is  full  of  the  goodness  of  Jehovah.

Behold,  how  good  and  how  pleasant  it  is, 
For  brethren  to  dwell  even  together  in  unity.

That  went  down  to  the  skirts  of  his  garments :

Hallelujah,  for  the  Lord  God  Omnipotent  reigneth. 

And  I  heard  as  it  were  the  voice  of  a  great  multitude, 
and  as  the  voice  of  many  waters,  and  as  the  voice  of  mighty 
thunderings,  saying,  Alleluia  !  for  the  Lord  God  Omnipo- 
tent reigneth  !  Let  us  be  glad  and  rejoice,  and  give  the 
glory  to  Him  :  for  the  marriage  of  the  Lamb  is  come,  and 
his  wife  hath  made  herself  ready.  And  to  her  was  granted 
that  she  should  be  arrayed  in  fine  linen,  clean  and  white  : 
for  fine  linen  is  the  righteousness  of  the  saints.  And  he 
said  unto  me,  Write,  Blessed  are  they  that  are  called  to  the 
marriage  supper  of  the  Lamb.

And  when  they  drew  nigh  to  Jerusalem,  Jesus  sent  two

you,  and  straightway  ye  shall  find  an  ass  tied,  and  a  colt 
with  her:  loose  them,  and  bring  them  unto  me.  And  the 
disciples  went,  and  did  as  Jesus  commanded  them,  and 
brought  the  ass,  and  the  colt,  and  put  on  them  their  clothes, 
and  they  set  him  thereon.  And  a  very  great  multitude 
spread  their  garments  in  the  way;  others  cut  down  branches 
from  the  trees,  and  strowed  them  in  the  way.  And  the 
multitudes  that  went  before,  and  that  followed,  cried,  say- 
ing, Hosanna  !  Blessed  is  he  that  cometh  in  the  name  of

Gjlorification  27. 

Behold  !  the  Tabernacle  of  Goo  is  with  Men. 

And  I  saw  a  new  heaven  and  a  new  earth ;  for  the  first 
heaven  and  the  first  earth  passed  away,  and  the  sea  was 
no  more.  And  I  saw  the  holy  city,  New  Jerusalem,  de- 
scending out  of  heaven  from  God,  prepared  as  a  bride  adorned 
for  her  husband.  And  I  heard  a  great  voice  out  of  heaven, 
saying,  Behold  the  tabernacle  of  God  is  with  men,  and  he 
shall  dwell  with  them,  and  they  shall  be  his  people  ;  and 
God  himself  shall  be  with  them,  their  God.  And  he  shall 
wipe  away  all  tears  from  their  eyes  ;  and  death  shall  be  no 
more;  neither  sorrow  nor  crying  nor  pain  shall  be  more; 
for  the  former  things  are  passed  away.

After  this  I  beheld,  and  lo !  a  great  multitude,  which  no 
one  could  number,  out  of  all  nations,  and  tribes,  and  peo- 
ple, and  tongues,  standing  before  the  throne,  and  before  the 
Lamb,  clothed  in  white  robes,  and  palms  in  their  hands. 
And  they  cried  with  a  great  voice,  saying.  Salvation  to  our 
God,  who  sitteth  upon  the  throne,  and  to  the  Lamb  !  And 
all  the  angels  stood  around  the  throne,  and  the  elders,  and 
the  four  animals,  and  fell  down  before  the  throne  upon  their 
faces,  and  worshipped  God,  saying,  Amen  !  Blessing,  and

Glorification  34.     When  Jehovah  shall  build. 

When  Jehovah  shall  build  up  Zion, 

He  shall  appear  in  his  glory. 

He  will  regard  the  prayer  of  the  destitute, 

And  will  not  despise  their  prayer. 

This  shall  be  written  for  the  generation  to  come  ; 

And  the  people  which  shall  be  created  shall  praise  Jah. 

For  he  hath  looked  down  from  the  height  of  his  sanctu- 

From  the  heavens  did  Jehovah  behold  the  earth  ;     [ary ; 

To  hear  the  groaning  of  the  prisoner  : 

To  release  the  sons  of  death ; 

To  declare  the  name  of  Jehovah  in  Zion, 

And  his  praise  in  Jerusalem.

Thott  wilt  show  me  the  Path  of  Life. 

I  will  bless  Jehovah,  who  hath  counselled  for  me : 

My  reins  also  instruct  me  in  the  night. 

I  set  Jehovah  always  before  me : 

Because  he  is  at  my  right  hand,  I  shall  not  be  moved. 

Therefore  my  heart  is  glad,  and  my  glory  rejoiceth  : 

My  flesh  also  shall  rest  in  hope. 

For  thou  wilt  not  leave  my  soul  in  hell ; 

Neither  wilt  thou  suffer  thy  Holy  One  to  see  corruption. 

Thou  wilt  show  me  the  path  of  life  : 

In  thy  presence  is  fulness  of  joy  ; 

And  at  thy  right  hand  there  are  pleasures  forevermore.

Behold  !  I  come  quickly. 

And  he  said  unto  me,  These  sayings  are  faithful  and 
true  :  and  the  Lord  God  of  the  holy  prophets  sent  his  angel 
to  show  unto  his  servants  the  things  which  must  shortly 
be  done.  Behold  !  I  come  quickly  ;  and  my  reward  is  with 
me,  to  give  to  every  one  as  his  work  shall  be.  I  am  the 
Alpha  and  the  Omega,  the  Beginning  and  the  End,  the 
First  and  the  Last.  And  the  Spirit  and  the  Bride  say, 
Come  !  And  let  him  that  heareth,  say.  Come  !  And  let  him 
that  thirsteth  come  !  And  let  him  that  willeth  take  water

I  come  quickly.     Amen :  Yea,  come,  Lord  Jesus !

number  in  the  third  column  has  no  letter  prefixed,  it  indicates  a  Selection  : 
D.  prefixed  means  Doxolog)',  and  G.  Glorification.  In  general,  the 
figure  in  the  second  column  indicates  the  verse  with  which  the  Selection 
commences  ;  but  they  are  not  always  continuous,  and  a  little  examination 
may  sometimes  be  necessary  to  discover  what  a  Selection  contains.

PRINCIPLES   OF   CHANTING. 


On  the  Style  of  the  Sacred  Scriptures. 

One  of  the  most  remarkable  peculiarities  in  the  style  of  the  Sacred 
Scriptures,  is,  the  frequent  occurrence  of  its  subjects  in  pairs  ;  for  ex- 
ample, /tof  ions  and  people — joy  and  gladness — justice,  or  righteousness,  and 
judgment — speak  and  say — see  and  behold, — and  numberless  others.  (See 
]Num.  xxiii.  7  to  10,  18  to  24 ;  and  xxiv.  5  to  9,  and  17  to  19  ;  and  the 
Psalms  and  Prophets  throughout.)  The  consequence  of  this  is,  that  the 
sentences  or  verses  are  generally  composed  of  two  clauses ;  which  is 
almost  invariably  the  case  in  the  Psalms,  and  indeed  in  most  parts  of 
the  Word,  though  it  might  not,  at  first  sight,  appear.  Some  instances 
occur,  where  the  clauses  are  triple; — Ps.  xxiv.  7  to  10;  Ps.  c. 

It  is  generally  thought  a  sufficient  explanation  of  this^  to  say  that  it 
is  according  to  the  oriental  style  of  writing ;  as  if,  in  saying  this,  it 
would  not  be  necessary  to  assign  a  cause  for  this  same  oriental  style ; 
which,  nevertheless,  had  its  origin  in  the  same  cause  as  tlie  style  men- 
tioned above.  In  the  doctrines  of  the  New  Jerusalem  Church,  for  whose 
use  this  work  is  compiled,  it  is  shown  that  every  part  of  the  Divine 
Word  has  a  spiritual  sense ;  and  that,  as  it  is  written  for  the  instruction 
of  man,  whose  mind  is  constituted  of  two  faculties,  JotZ/  and  understand- 
ing, the  former  for  the  reception  of  goodness,  and  the  latter  for  tliat  of 
truth,  from  the  Lord ;  therefore  the  Word  is,  in  all  its  parts,  accommo- 
dated to  man  as  possessed  of  these  two  faculties ;  and  in  the  above 
double  arrangement  of  subjects,  the  one  always  has  reference  to  goodness, 
or  the  will  of  man,  and  the  other  to  truth,  or  his  understanding ;  and 
where  a  third  clause  is  added,  it  refers  to  the  union  o? goodness  and  truth 
in  operation,  act  or  life :  also,  that  the  Word  not  only  relates  to  man,  but 
primarily  to  the  Lord ;  and  that  these  same  subjects  in  the  Word  have 
reference  to  love  and  icisdom  in  him  ;  and  that  the  various  names  of 
Jehovah,  or  Lord,  and  God — Father  and  Son — Creator  and  Redeemer, — 
which  are  applied  to  the  Divine  Being  in  the  Word, — have  the  same 
reference  ;  and  that  where  a  third  subject  is  added,  it  refers  to  the  union 
of  love  and  wisdom  in  the  Lord  in  operation,  that  is,  to  his  Holy  Spirit, 

Structure  of  Chants. 

This  peculiar  structure  of  the  verses  in  the  Sacred  Scriptures,  is  the 
ground  on  which  tlie  common  chant  is  constructed.  A  Chant,  tliere- 
fore,  is  a  musical  composition,  consisting  of  two  strciins,  as  Chant  40,  in 
which  are  to  be  sung  the  two  clauses  of  a  verse  or  sentence.  The  first 
strain  comprises  three  measures  or  bars,  and  the  second  four.  The  first 
Dote  in  each  strain  is  palled  the  cfianting  note,  and  usually  fills  the  first 


388  PRINCIPLES  OF  CHANTIXG. 

measure  ;  and  the  remaining  notes  are  called  the  cadence.  To  the  chant' 
ing  note  of  the  first  strain  is  sung  the  first  clause  of  the  verse,  except  a 
Bufficient  number  of  the  last  words  or  syllables  to  apply  to  the  cadence ; 
and  to  the  chanting  note  of  the  second  strain  is  sung  the  second  clause, 
except  words  enough  to  sing  the  cadence.  Several  words,  making  what 
is  called  the  recitative,  will  thus  be  sung  to  the  chanting  note ;  and 
though  it  is  always  a  note  of  some  given  duration,  (generally  a  senii- 
breve,)  yet  it  is  to  be  regarded  as  having  no  time  of  itself,  but  is  to  be 
made  longer  or  shorter,  according  to  the  number  of  words  or  syllables 
to  be  sung  to  it.  This  is  the  Single  Cbant.  A  Double  Chant  consists 
of  four  strains,  instead  of  two,  and  is  intended  for  two  verses  of  the 
psalm.  A  Ternary  Chant  is  composed  of  three  strains,  for  psalms  whose 
verses  consist  of  three  clauses.  Chant  43  is  peculiar,  and  is  to  be  sung 
by  repeating  the  second  and  third  strains  after  the  first,  alternately  ;  and 
of  course  sings  two  verses. 

Of  the  Application  of  the  Words  in  Chanting. 

"  A  great  difficulty,  in  arranging  the  words  of  a  chant,  is  to  know 
when  to  break  off  from  the  words  of  the  recitative,  and  to  begin  the 
cadence."  An  attempt  has  been  made,  in  this  work,  to  obviate  this  dif- 
ficulty, by  placing  a  pfrpendicuJar  dash,  thus,  (  |  )  immediately  before 
the  syllable  which  commences  the  second  measure.  The  location  of  this 
dash  has  been  governed  solely  by  the  sense  of  the  passages.  It  is  a 
well-known  rule,  that  in  double  time  (common  time),  which  is  the  time 
of  all  the  chants  used  in  this  work,  the  first  note  of  a  measure  is  ac- 
cented, and  the  second  unaccented.  The  endeavor  has  been,  so  to  place 
the  dash,  that  the  accented  and  emphatic  syllables  will  naturally  fall  to 
the  accented  notes,  and  the  unaccented  and  unimportant  syllables  to  the 
unaccented  notes ;  and  particularly  to  make  the  last  accented  or  em- 
phatic syllable  commence  the  last  measure  of  the  cadence,  by  whatever 
number  of  syllables  or  words  it  might  be  followed.  The  manner  of  ap- 
plying the  words,  after  the  dash,  must  therefore  be  governed  by  the  ac- 
cent ;  but,  in  some  instances,  unaccented  syllables  unavoidably  fall  to 
the  accented  part  of  the  measure.  The  most  simple  application  of  the 
words  is  where  the  dash  can  be  so  placed  as  to  leave  just  as  many  syl- 
lables after  it  as  there  are  notes  in  the  cadence ;  as  in  Selection  126,  ver. 
1.  But  this  cannot  often  be  effected  without  wholly  disregarding  the 
expression  of  the  sense  of  the  words  ;  nor.  if  it  could  be  done,  is  it  in- 
deed desirable,  since  the  cadences  would  become  disagreeable  from  their 
monotony.  Two  syllables  are  necessarily,  therefore,  often  given  to  one 
note,  and,  in  a  few  instances,  even  three  ;  and  upon  the  last  note  nf  the 
cadence,  it  has  sometimes  been  necessary  to  put  four  syllables,  when 
the  last  accented  syllable  of  the  clause  was  the  fourth  syllable  from  the 
end,  as  in  the  word  testimonies.  In  a  few  eases,  it  has  been  necessary 
to  make  one  syllable  fill  a  measure  ;  but  such  syllables  have  all  been 
distinguished  bv  printing  them  in  italic  characters ;  as,  the  svllable/or, 
in  Sel.  11],  ver' 7. 

It  is  a  rule  generally  laid  down,  to  pronounce  loved,  hoped,  and  the 
like,  as  two  syllables,  in  reading  the  Scriptures,  though  they  are  con- 
tracted in  secular  discourse ;  but  the  words  in  these  Selections  have 
been  arranged  according  to  the  latter  pronunciation,  simply  for  the  sake 
of  rythm ;  except  the  word  blessed,  and  such  others  as  are  never  con- 
tracted.   In  some  instances,  hawever,  the  contracted  syllable  has  been 


PRINCIPLES   OF  CHANTING.  389 

wanted,  and  in  such  cases  it  is  separated  by  a  hyphen;  as  in  Sel.  J48, 
ver.  1.     A  similar  case  occurs  in  Sel.  71),  ver.  2,  line  2. 

Verses  of  three  clauses  occur  occasionally,  and  the  extra  clause  must 
be  sung  by  repeating  one  of  the  strains  of  tiie  chant.  This  is  indicated 
by  placing  before  one  of  the  clauses  a  figure  which  numbers  the  strain 
to  which  it  is  to  be  sung.  Some  other  irregularities  are  indicated  in  the 
same  manner,  the  practice  of  which  will  occasion  no  difficulty.  There 
are  a  few  instances  in  whicii  a  distinct  clause,  as  Jlmen  and  amen,  Praise 
ye  Jah,  and  the  like,  wmU  be  found  to  remain  after  the  cadence  is  sung 
through ;  and  these  should  be  sung  by  repeating  a  sufficient  number  of 
the  last  notes  of  the  cadence. 

Rules  for  Chanting  recommended  in  using   this  Work. 
[The  figures  in  ■parentheses  refer  to  the  Examples  on  pages  394  and  395.] 

In  singing  the  words  to  the  chanting  note,  the  utterance,  pronuncia- 
tion, acrent,  emphasis,  inflection,  pauses  and  expression,  should  be  the 
same  as  in  deliberate  reading.  In  reading  or  speaking,  unimportant 
words  occupy  much  less  time  in  the  utterance  than  important  words, 
even  though  both  be  of  but  one  syllable ;  and  in  singing  to  the  chanting 
notp,  the  same  relative  duration  should  be  carefully  preserved. 

If  there  is  a.  passing  note  in  the  chanting  measure,  sing  to  it  the  last 
syllable  before  the  dash,  if  the  syllable  be  unaccented  ;  but  if  accented 
or  important,  commence  this  syllable  on  the  chanting  note,  and  slur  it 
on  the  passing  note. 

The  above  rule  for  singing  to  the  chanting  note  ceases  when  we  come 
to  the  cadence  ;  for  the  cadence  should  always  "  be  given  in  correct  time, 
the  beat  of  which  can  be  felt."  Still,  however,  as  much  of  the  expression 
of  reading  or  speaking  should  be  given  to  the  words  of  the  cadence,  as 
is  consistent  with  correct  time. 

But  the  last  note  of  the  cadence  should  not  be  regarded  as  having  a 
fixed  time.  If  the  word  which  is  sung  to  it  is  a  single  syllable,  the 
sound  may  be  protracted  as  far  as  the  production  of  good  effiict  may  dic- 
tate (1) ;  but  if  there  falls  to  it  more  than  one  syllable,  they  should  be 
uttered  agreeably  to  the  rule  for  singing  to  the  chanting  note,  or  nearly 
so  (2). 

The  measures  of  the  cadences  are  generally  made  up  of  minims,  and 
the  application  of  the  words  is  simple  where  there  is  a  syllable  to  each 
minim,  that  is,  two  syllables  to  each  measure,  as  before  stated  (1)  ;  though, 
in  a  few  instances,  the  accented  syllable  may  fall  to  the  wrong  part  of 
the  measure  (38).  When  three  syllables  fall  to  a  measure,  they  may  be — 
I,  the  first  and  second  accented  or  important,  and  the  third  not, — 2,  the 
first  accented,  and  the  other  two  not, — 3,  the  first  and  third  accented, 
and  the  second  not, — or  4,  the  first  and  second  unaccented,  and  the  third 
accented.  Four  other  cases  are  mathematically  possible,  but  would  be 
absurd  in  practice,  and  do  not  occur. 

In  the  first  of  these  cases,  where  the  first  and  second  syllables  are  ac- 
cented, and  the  third  unaccented,  as  the  syllables  all  thine  in-,  Sel.  126, 
ver.  3,  the  first  syllable  must  evidently  be  sung  to  the  first  minim  of  the 
measure,  and  the  other  two  to  the  last  (3)  ;  but  the  last  minim  must  not 
be  sung  as  two  crotchets,  but  aa  a  pointed  crotchet  and  quaver ;  or  rather. 


ago  PRINCIPLES  OF  CHANTING. 

in  most  instances,  less  time  than  a  quaver  should  be  given  to  the  unac- 
cented syllable,  throwing  it  in  slightly  after  the  accented  one  (3  and  4, 
the  pointed  crotcliet  being  indicated  by  a  dot). 

In  the  second  kind,  where  the  first  syllable  is  accented,  and  the  other 
two  not,  the  first  is  sung  to  the  first  minim,  and  the  two  others  to  the 
second  minim  as  two  crotchets  ;  as  the  syllables  blow  and  the,  Sel.  138, 
ver.  7  (5,  6).  But,  though  combinations  of  this  kind  are  very  common, 
yet  there  are  few  wherein  the  former  of  the  two  last  syllables  is  not  more 
accented  and  more  important  than  the  latter ;  as  to  in  deeds  to  the,  Sel. 
126.  ver.  7;  and  therefore  a  very  great  majority  of  the  cases  apparently 
falling  under  this  class  should  be  sung  by  making  the  last  minim  a 
pointed  crotchet  and  quaver  (7,  8).  But  when  the  three  syllables  of  this 
class  are  made  up  of  a  word  of  two  syllables  accented  on  the  first,  and 
followed  by  an  unimportant  syllable,  as  chidren  of,  Sel.  126,  ver.  7,  the 
word  of  two  syllables  should  always  be  sung  to  the  first  minim,  in  the 
manner  explained  in  the  next  paragraph  (9,  10). 

In  examples  of  the  third  class  above  named,  where  the  first  and  third 
are  accented,  and  the  second  unaccented,  the  unaccented  syllable  should 
be  invariably  sung  with  the  first  syllable  to  the  first  minim ;  yet  it  should 
rarely  receive  the  time  of  a  quaver,  but  should  be  thrown  in  slightly 
after  it ;  as  the  syllables  joy  of  thy,  Sel.  127,  ver.  6,  or  acts  of  Jc-.  ver. 
2  (11,  12).  Words  of  three  syllables  accented  on  the  first,  as  merciful, 
or  the  three  last  syllables  of  in-iquity,  belong  to  this  class,  since  the  first 
■yllable  aft«r  an  accent  is  less  accented  than  the  second  :  they  should 
therefore  be  sung  as  here  explained  (13,  14). 

In  the  fourth  case,  where  the  first  and  second  syllables  are  unaccented 
and  the  third  accented,  as  in  the  Red,  Sel.  133.  ver.  3,  the  two  first  sylla- 
bles should  be  sung  to  thefrst  minim,  precisely  as  explained  of  the  two 
unimportant  syllables  in  case  second  above  (15,  16). 

In  some  instances,  as  before  stated,  it  has  been  impossible  to  avoid 
putting  four  syllables  into  one  measure  ;  but  these  cases  are  few,  not 
amounting  to  twenty  in  the  whole  work.  Except  four,  they  all  consist 
of  three  syllables  in  the  same  word  followed  by  another  syllable ;  as 
the  three  last  syllables  of  an-ticipate,  Sel.  109.  ver.  4, — of  pios-perity,  Sel. 
44,  ver.  6, — and  the  words  publisheth  and  comforted,  in  Sel.  65.  In  all 
Buch,  the  three  syllables  belonging  to  the  same  word  should  be  sung  to 
the  first  minim,  and  the  following  syllable  to  the  second  (19,  20)  ;  and 
several  words  so  situated,  as  pitieth,  rezcrenced,  coreiiant,  Israel,  may  be 
contracted  and  uttered  nearly  as  two  syllables  (21,  22),  which  will 
much  improve  the  effect.  The  four  cases  excepted  above  are  the  syl- 
lables heavens  and  up-,  Sel.  91,  ver  6, — solitary,  Sel.  96,  ver.  4, — feet 
into  the,  Sel.  42,  ver  4, — and  the  three  last  syllables  of  con-tinually.  Sel. 
92,  ver.  1.  The  first  and  second  of  these  are  given  (17,  18) :  in  the 
third,  into  the  should  be  sung  to  the  second  minim ;  and  in  the  fourth, 
the  three  first  syllables  should  be  contracted  into  two. 

The  species  of  contraction  just  mentioned  should  be  used  in  several 
other  instances ;  as  tow'rd  for  to'icard  (not  toward'),  Sel.  124,  ver.  5  (26, 
27) ;  psalt'ry  for  psaltery,  Sel.  73,  ver.  2  (2-")) ; — so  th'  oppressor  for  the 
oppressor,  Sel.  10,  ver.  4  ;  th'  upright  for  the  upright,  Sel.  95  (23,  24) ; 
and  many  other  cases,  especially  where  a  word  ends  with  a  vowel,  and 
the  next  begins  with  a  vowel :  but  care  should  be  taken  in  pronouncing 
them,  as  the  sound  either  ofwoiy  is  alw^ays  implied  in  contractions  of 
the  latter  kind  (23,24). 

The  proper  manner  of  singing  the  last  note  of  the  cadence  has  been 


PRINCIPLES  OF  CHANTING.  291 

before  stated  ;  and  it  is  only  necessary  to  add,  that  the  last  accented  syl- 
lable of  a  chiuse  should  be  carefully  made  to  fall  on  this  last  note  ('^8, 
29),  so  as  to  preserve,  as  far  as  possible,  the  expression  of  cornel  read- 
ing :  for  example,  Sel.  122,  ver.  (i,  line  2,  might  have  been  pointed  thus  : — 
Save  lohli  thy  right  |  hand  and  answer  me;  which  would  have  injured 
the  sense,  as  the  last  accented  syllable  is  not  me,  but  the  first  syllable 
of  an-swer,  and  the  phrase  answer  me  conveys  a  unity  of  idea  (34,  3')). 
This  proper  expression  and  unity  of  idea  is,  in  some  instances,  lost,  for 
the  want  of  a  sufficient  number  of  syllables  in  the  clause,  to  apply  to 
the  cadence.  Thus,  in  Sel.  2*2,  ver.  2,  line  2,  the  three  last  syllables, 
-viveth  me,  ought  to  fall  to  the  last  note  (30)  ;  but  this  could  not  be  done 
without  placing  the  dash  before  thy,  and  making  it  fill  the  second  meas- 
ure, that  is,  singing  it  to  four  crotchets  in  the  treble ;  which  was  es- 
teemed a  greater  evil  than  the  loss  of  expression.  So  in  Sel.  112,  ver. 
6,  taught  me  ought  to  fall  to  the  last  note  (31)  ;  but  then  the  two  pre- 
ceding syllables  must  each  fill  a  measure,  and  it  may  be  doubted  which 
is  the  better  way.  Some  care  will  be  found  necessary  in  order  to  bring 
the  last  accented  syllable  upon  the  last  note ;  and  the  case  must  always 
be  decided  by  the  proper  manner  of  reading  the  clause,  and  not  by  the 
apparent  importance  or  unimportance  of  the  words.  Indeed,  this  sylla- 
ble is  often  apparently  a  very  unimportant  word,  a  preposition,  for  ex- 
ample, followed  by  a  word  of  one  syllable  ;  as,  to  me,  Sel.  4,  ver  4, — with 
me,  Sel.  14,  ver.  1, — against  thee,  Sel.  20,  ver.  3, — by  it,  Sel.  19,  ver.  4, 
and  before  him,  ver.  8, — also,  Sel.  49,  ver.  3 ;  25,  ver.  4  and  7  (32,  33)  ; 
and  many  more  :  but  prepositions  so  situated  are  evidently  more  fre- 
quently not  accented.  [The  remaining  examples  (36,  37,  36)  are  only 
a  few  particular  instances  of  the  more  difficult  application  of  the  words.] 

These  remarks  proceed  on  the  supposition  that  the  cadences  are  made 
up  of  minims.  Crotchets  are  a  defect  in  them,  inasmuch  as  they  are  an 
additional  hindrance  to  the  proper  utterance  of  the  words ;  and  though 
they  must,  in  some  cases,  vary  the  application  of  the  foregoing  princi- 
ples, yet  they  may  be  sung  as  a  pointed  crotchet  and  quaver,  where  the 
effijct  would  thereby  be  improved. 

The  object  in  chanting  is  to  express  the  sentiments  of  the  words  in 
musical  tones ;  and,  consequently,  the  first  of  these  rules  cannot  be  too 
carefully  studied  and  followed.  No  one,  whatever  may  be  his  merits 
as  a  singer,  can  give  full  effect  to  chanting,  unless  he  is  also  a  good 
reader.  He  must  attend  to  the  sentiments, /cci  them,  and  wish  to  express 
them  musically.  Many  choirs  assume  the  chanting  note  with  the  voice, 
and  read  the  several  syllables  to  it  very  hastily,  giving  to  each,  as  nearly 
as  possible,  the  same  time  and  the  same  force.  Comment  on  this  prac- 
tice is  needless.  The  habit,  unavoidably  contracted  in  singing  psalm 
tunes,  of  giving  the  same  time  to  every  syllable,  whether  important  or 
unimportant,  is  also  injurious  to  chanting,  and  must  be  carefully  re- 
sisted. Sentences  are  composed  not  only  of  clauses,  but  of  phrases  con- 
sisting of  two  or  three  words.  The  following  clause  consists  of  three 
phrases  ; — Jind  in  the  same  country,  were  shepherds,  abiding  in  the  field. 
Now,  in  reading,  we  make  nearly  a  pause,  though  not  an  actual  suspen- 
sion of  the  voice,  after  each  phrase.  In  chanting,  these  phrases  should 
be  carefully  studied.  But  to  follow  the  rules  of  good  reading  mechan- 
ically, will  produce  the  same  stiffness  in  chanting  as  in  reading.  Ease 
and  expression  are  the  things  to  be  aimed  at,  and  these  rules,  it  is  be- 
lieved, will  be  found  to  promote  them.  To  utter  the  words  with  that 
spirit  and  those  feelings  which  their  sense  seems  calculated  to  inspire, 


392  PRINCIPLES  OF  CHANTING. 

should  be  the  highest  aim.  This  is  not  the  place  for  a  dissertation  on 
the  character  of  tiie  Psalms  and  other  (usually  styled)  poetical  parts  of 
the  Word,  from  which  the  Selections  in  this  work  are  drawn.  Viewed 
in  their  literal  sense,  they  are  calculated  to  excite  the  deepest  emotions, 
whether  of  sublimity  or  of  pathos,  of  exaltation  or  of  humility,  of  comfort 
or  of  reproof,  of  confiding  trust  or  of  trembling  hope,  of  joy  or  of  sad- 
ness, of  prayer  or  of  praise.  Add  to  this,  that  we  are  taught  that  they 
are  spirit  and  life  ;  that  they  are  the  medium  through  which  the  Divine 
Spirit  flows  into,  and  operates  in  the  minds  and  hearts  of  men  :  still, 
it  may  be  safely  said,  tliat  all  the  sentiments  which  they  can  inspire  in 
our  hearts,  may  find  their  full  expression,  and  experience  full  satisfac- 
tion in  the  chant. 

Of  the  Arrangement  of  the  Parts  in  Choral  Music. 

An  ignorance  has  heretofore  existed,  and  it  is  to  be  feared  still  exists, 
in  this  country,  in  regard  to  the  proper  relations  of  the  parts  in  choral 
music.  This  may  have  originated  in  the  custom  of  printing  the  tenor 
and  alto  on  the  treble  staff;  for  it  has  been  supposed,  that  as  the  notes 
stood  on  the  same  place  in  the  staff,  they  meant  the  same  sound.  But 
it  must  never  be  forgotten,  that  the  same  note  in  the  tenor  and  treble 
means  a  sound  an  octave  lower  in  the  tenor  than  in  the  treble :  thus,  in 
Chant  64,  the  first  note  of  the  second  strain,  both  in  the  treble  and  tenor, 
is  on  C  in  the  third  space  of  the  staff;  but  the  C  in  the  tenor  means  the 
C  which  is  printed  in  a  small  note  on  the  first  leger  line  below  the  treble 
staff.  An  attempt  has  been  made  to  exhibit  the  parts  in  their  proper 
relations  as  to  pitch,  on  pages  394  and  395.  If  a  tenor  voice  were  to 
sing  the  treble  in  that  chant,  it  would  sing  the  small  black  notes  which 
are  an  octave  below  the  treble.  See,  also.  Glorification  36.  The  ac- 
companiment ought  throughout  to  have  been  written  as  in  these  cases ; 
but  the  close  harmony,  to  be  played  with  the  right  hand,  was  generally 
preferred,  because  it  was  thought  that  this  book  might  be  used  on  the 
piano-forte,  where  it  would  be  desirable  to  have  the  lefl  hand  play 
octaves  in  the  base. 

The  treble  should  always  be  sung  by  females ;  and  never  by  men, 
unless  from  necessity  :  the  alto  should  be  sung  by  the  lower  female 
voices,  and  by  boys  ;  and  may  be  sung  by  very  high  men's  voices  :  the 
tenor,  by  the  higher  voices  of  men  ;  never  by  women  :  and  the  base,  by 
the  lower  voices  of  men.  This  would  seem  to  make  it  proper  that  the 
treble  should  be  the  upper  staff,  the  alto  next,  the  tenor  next,  and  the 
base  at  bottom  :  and  they  should  always  be  so  printed,  except  where  it 
is  necessary  to  have  the  treble  brought  down  next  the  base,  for  con- 
venience in  playing  the  organ  or  piano-forte.  Througliout  this  work, 
the  base  stands  at  the  bottom,  the  treble  next,  the  tenor  next,  and  the 
alto  at  top ;  unless  otherwise  directed  on  the  pages. 

Of  the  Time  of  the  Cadence. 

The  words  of  the  recitative  should  be  read  very  deliberately ;  and 
accent  and  emphasis  cannot  be  too  carefully  observed  :  but  the  custom 
has  been  to  sing  the  cadence  much  too  slow.  The  time  in  which  any 
Chant  should  be  sung,  must  be  governed  entirely  by  the  subject  of  the 
Selection ;   but  the  rule  for  the  cadence  is,  to  sing  the  minims  of  the 


PRINCIPLES  OF  CHANTING.  393 

cadence  in  the  same  time  as  is  given  to  an  accented  and  emphatic  word 
of  one  syllable  in  the  recitative. 

Generai.  Remarks. 

Chants  81,  95,  and  107,  are  in  some  degree  peculiar,  having  two  in- 
troductory notes  before  the  chanting  note.  These  two  notes  should  be 
sung  to  one  or  more  of  the  first  syllables  of  the  line,  always  passing  to 
the  chanting  note  by  an  unaccented  syllable. 

Some  have  expressed  a  desire  to  have  the  Chants  and  Selections 
written  out  at  large,  with  the  words  divided  under  the  notes  by  lines,  in 
the  manner  sometimes  found  in  singing-books.  The  present  work, 
so  arranged,  would  make  a  large  folio  volume.  Glorification  36  is  a 
specimen  of  this  ;  and  the  matter,  which  there  fills  two  pages,  though 
printed  in  two  lines,  would  fill  but  the  half  of  one,  if  written  like  the 
other  Selections. 

Though,  in  general,  the  Choruses  alone  will  be  sung  in  public  wor- 
ship, yet  a  few  Solos,  Duets  and  Trios,  have  been  inserted  in  the  vol- 
ume ;  but  in  no  case,  unless  they  were  parts  of  the  same  Anthem  as  the 
Choruses,  and  were  of  sterhng  character.  It  is  believed  that  these  will 
be  gladly  received  for  social  religious  use ;  and  the  question,  why  they 
should  not  be  sung  in  public,  perhaps  merits  consideration.  All  the 
Anthems  that  have  been  thus  fully  inserted,  are  by  Kent.  Glorifica- 
tions 6  and  7,  and  the  intermediate  Solos  and  Duet,  are  an  Anthem  of 
his  on  Psalm  23. 

The  reader  will  observe  that,  in  some  instances,  the  expressions  in 
the  Services,  Selections  and  Glorifications,  are  not  the  same  as  in  the 
common  translation  of  the  Bible.  Indeed,  nearly  the  whole  of  the  con- 
tents of  this  book  was  revised,  and  much  the  largest  part  was  carefully 
compared  with  the  original,  aided  by  the  best  helps  that  could  be  pro- 
cured. Much  pains  were  taken  to  make  the  translation  literal ;  but  no 
alterations  were  attempted,  unless  a  manifest  improvement  could  be 
mnde.  The  names  Jehovnh  and  Jah,  heretofore  translated  Lord,  have 
been  invariably  restored  ;  and  wherever  the  word  Lord  now  occurs  in 
passages  from  tlie  Old  Testament,  it  stands  for  the  Hebrew  word  which 
signifies  a  lord  ;  except  in  Glorifications  9  and  13,  where  the  structure 
of  the  music  did  not  allow  a  change  in  the  words.  Where  the  word 
Lord  occurs  in  passages  from  the  New  Testament,  it  means  the  Lord 
Jesus  Christ,  or  Jehovah  manifested  in  the  flesh,  unless  there  is  direct 
or  implied  reference  to  the  Old  Testament.  When  the  word  Jehovah 
is  pointed  for  the  vowel  i  in  the  original  (Jehovih),  it  has  been  re- 
tained. A  few  verbal  alterations  have  been  made,  for  the  better 
application  of  the  words  to  the  music  ;  such  as  changing  the  location 
of  the  words,  or  the  insertion  of  do,  did,  and  the  like  :  and,  in  several 
instances,  the  Hebrew  word  Hallelujah  is  given,  immediately  followed 
by  its  signification  in  English,  Praise  ye  Jah,  for  the  sake  of  lengthen- 
ing the  line.  In  the  examples  on  pages  394  and  395,  several  clauses 
are  much  altered  ;  but  this  was  necessary  in  order  to  shorten  them  so 
as  to  bring  them  within  the  width  of  the  page. 

The  Committee  are  under  great  obligations  to  Mr.  Lowell  Mason, 
one  of  the  Professors  in  the  Boston  Academy  of  Music,  not  only  for 
permission  to  copy  several  chants  and  choruses  from  liis  musical  pub- 
lications ;  but  also  for  the  loan  of  the  Gregorian  Chants,  and  two  other 
collectiona  of  Chants  published  in  £nglan^.
